      Pros

      Dolby has great benefits and supportive teams. The people here re great and seem proud to work for this company.

      Cons

      There is a distinct lack of excitement, which is apparent since you'd expect a company that is well known for it's presence in the entertainment industry to be constantly engaging. Walk in the front door and there's nothing to indicate that we are an audio company.

      Pros

      Steady work Funded 401k with matching Proud history

      Cons

      Every mention of the positive 9/80 work schedule reminds me of a municipal government job Outdated culture Operates more like a toll collector than an innovator Patents are virtually expiring Limited innovation

      Pros

      Profitable company with worldwide presence. Culture was engineering focused and new products were being developed. Benefits package includes every other Friday off for the whole year. Leadership seemed to be improving communication and relaying goals more clearly. Most people in the org were easy going and interesting to work with.

      Cons

      The company is not well known in the bay area.  I worked in finance and there is a vp that not a good person to work for as there was no focus on career development and this person continually mistreated people and especially their own team-this person would threaten people bonuses in public, said horrible things about everyone, and was demeaning.  I would still recommend the company to those interested given the pros.   If you are looking for a finance job at Dolby beware given my comments..
