Pros

Dolby Friday: Every other Friday we have off

Cons

Hostile work environment, leadership on the marketing team is very toxic. The culture is very political. Bullying amongst colleagues is rampant and leadership encourages this behavior.

Pros

Good people. Good environment. 9/80 schedule with every other Friday off is great.

Cons

Most work very hard, but there are some people have been there a very long time and are very comfortable putting in minimal effort.

Interesting place, poorly managed

Pros

Nice people for the most part (you've got your usual exceptions), nice art, nice view, nice gym, nice coffee, nice HR people who try to make it a cool place.

Cons

Seems to lack cohesion and I blame leadership. The leaders don't appear to communicate so well and therefore the teams work in silos and have no idea what's going on. It's a strange ecosystem, but I do suppose pieces of an ecosystem don't have to understand what other parts of the ecosystem are doing.. this is only a problem when they are dependent on the other's work or repeating efforts. It's a great place with great people but because it's so poorly organized and led, it's stressful, I waste too much time confused about the what, the who, the where and the why of the place. Decisions don't seem to make sense, and there is no explanation for those nonsensical decisions.
