      Pros

      Really fun working environment, cool projects, great technology. A lot of smart people working around you.

      Cons

      Not many opportunities to grow, heavy on senior roles but weak on early career people. It is possible to encounter internal politics that might affect the work experience.

      More or Less Great Place to Work

      Pros

      9/80 schedule (every other Friday off), great work/life balance, decent pay/benefits, onsite gym and cafeteria, RSUs and profit sharing, ESPP, bonuses, 401k matching, (healthy) snacks. I can only speak for myself on this but awesome teammates/function who are friendly, actually work as a team and are supportive both in career and personal matters, and no micromanaging. I think Dolby is working hard on large initiatives such as sustainability and DBI. Financial stability - Dolby hardly has debt.

      Cons

      I think there are some people who come off entitled and expect immediate solutions that only would benefit their agenda vs the bigger picture. You may see some 'cliquey-ness.' Not a lot of upward mobility or recognition reflecting in salary raises/bonuses - you/your manager really has to fight for it or find creative ways. You're not prioritized if you're not in a revenue generating group. No teeth from management - a lot of 'wrist slapping' and letting people do what they want when it comes to spending money or not following procedures and then want to complain about it later.
