Very toxic atmosphere

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.

Pros

Leadership in the media tech space. Great people. Good benefits.

Cons

Poor leadership with lack of vision. Internal politics and frequent reorgs. Highly vertical structure favors new and loud voices even where ideas or direction is questionable or short-sighted.
