Pros

Fun market and technology. The company pays well and benefits are great.

Cons

Like many Silicon Valley companies Dolby makes a futile attempt at work / life balance. Executive management, middle management, engineering and many other disciplines easily log 60+ hours per week. Slow decision making process. Very difficult business model that requires strict disciplines to maneuver and succeed. Dolby has struggled to build the required disciplines resulting in many reorganizations over many years.
