      A wide spectrum mixed bag, extreme experiences on both the positives and negatives. Reflects an internal cultural battle

      Pros

      Many well-intentioned, good-hearted people. A small family business feel where its easy to quickly make connections and navigate organization. Dolby trying hard to reinvent itself in digital era and making investments in new hires and technology. Some great leaders at the helm.

      Cons

      Very political. The internet era skipped by Dolby so it feels like the 1970s. Large cultural tensions at play as old timers and new employees often at odds.Incredible resistance to change or improvement. Lack of cultural issue ownership means problems linger forever, even ones that are easy to solve. Decision making is slow and often by hard to achieve consensus, so things move really slow or not at all.

      Pros

      Loads of opportunities for training and personal growth, both in terms of technical knowledge and personal development. The day-to-day working environment was open and friendly, with all teams able and encouraged to discuss and ask questions across all levels.

      Cons

      Sometimes a conflict between the way the US arm want to run things and how the UK arm reacts, but this is mostly due to culture differences. Oh and so many buzzwords.
