Business Outlook

Pros

- good equipment (laptops, lab equipment) - decent office and office equipment - a lot of trainings available

Cons

- very toxic atmosphere making it difficult to maintain positivity and collaboration - in case of issues, HR tends to support management uncritically - work culture is lacking in professionalism and support for employees' growth - the open office layout creates significant noise distractions, which hampers productivity - reliance on proprietary Dolby products and tools, which limits flexibility and adaptability.
