      Pros

      9/80 Work schedule, San Francisco Location, good salary and benefits, interesting work.

      Cons

      Excessive feudalism amongst upper management, systematic dismantling the "old guard" and corporate culture that made Dolby successful, WAY TO MANY V.P.s/ Decision Makers. Excessive Political Favoritism, Attempts to reinvent the company without understanding the long-term implications.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      off fridays; generous 401K match; future mid market office; nice colleagues

      Cons

      exec team doesn't inspire much confidence - seem to be B players. feels like we are forever in limbo on just about everything. management team is really slow to make decisions and makes you wonder about their ability. general communication is absent within the company despite having a PR department, HR department and an exec team that should be communicating.
