      Pros

      Really smart people, especially on the technical staff. There's probably no other place with the mass of expertise in audio that you will find at Dolby. It's a comfortable place to work, with a strong collaborative ethos. Pretty low pressure

      Cons

      The flip side of the low-pressure culture is a general lack of accountability and no real sense of urgency. The company is top-heavy with senior people, which makes career advancement pretty challenging. Marketing and sales are generally weak areas.

      Pros

      9/80 work week, results in lots of time off.

      Cons

      Commute to SF from south bay takes a very long time. Decisions are made slowly - so slow that sometimes the market has past the want. Indecision because of consensus building takes so long.
