      Pros

      9/80 work schedule (notice that this listed as a "Pro" in 90% of the reviews? It is the ONE thing that sets Dolby apart) Competitive salary Decent benefits Great coworkers - some very smart people! Interesting work if you are in the right department

      Cons

      Company makes silly budget choices. For example, costly annual holiday party and annual picnic but virtual elimination of all other employee "niceties" LOTS of Prima Donnas in executive management Poor interpersonal communication across the board (hello? Staff Meetings? One on One's?) Highly charged political environment All decisions are pushed to the highest levels - employees not empowered Working from home is allowed depending on the department, but overall it is frowned upon from the top down. Internal Us/Them mentality

      Pros

      Smart people, with great respect for each other. Incredible audio products. Long-term view. Very good benefits from people in the middle of their career (with families).

      Cons

      Risk averse, and not fast enough to embrace change. Always betting safe. Settled work force can act as roadblock.
