      New management teams don't take time to consider past decisions and are very unaware of how and why they were made.

      Interesting work but old guard employees very defensive and clueless how to scale

      Pros

      9/80 work schedule. Decent pay and benefits.

      Cons

      Lots of silos. Old guard employees are defensive and aggressive in protecting their turf. Back stabbing is common though everyone is well behaved upfront. Company is hiring lots of people it is becoming like a tower of Babel where everyone speaks a different company culture. Some new hire directors behave like the bull in a china shop and believe they are driving. Mid management is in CYA mode with all the consternation. New ideas suggested might be rejected out right without consideration since it is "not how we do it at Dolby"
