      If you aren't a sound engineer, run away...

      Pros

      If you are a sound engineer, this is a cool company to work for. Lots of really smart engineers, nice offices, mostly reasonable hours. Engineers are treated with respect and their contributions are greatly valued.

      Cons

      If you work outside of engineering, your work and contributions are considered inconsequential. Although Dolby is still relatively small, there is an ivory tower attitude on the part of management and there is little or no tolerance for hearing anything other than what they want to hear.

      Pros

      good people, great technology and excellent benefits

      Cons

      Looks great from outside. Highly politically charged management. Reminds me of the movie "The Firm". Enough said. The company just cannot compete in the market for non-mandated technologies.
