      Pros

      Dolby is a great brand to work for with some exceptional engineers and terrific technology. Overall the people are great and the work environment fun. Good opportunities to work in other markets and love the off Fridays

      Cons

      Terrible marketing leadership who don't have the experience, charisma or determination to pull the team together and lead strategically rather than tactically.

      Pros

      Benefits are a highlight. Technical expertise in media is amazing; simply the best especially in audio. A lot of people "eat their own dog food" here, and many times the technology created starts out being used in employees home studios, home theaters.

      Cons

      Politics are repressive, especially in sales / marketing. People here work to keep their job, not to further the company. The old guard needs to empower, not intimidate. For all the talent, Dolby's not released anything relevant in 20 years to the market.
