      Pros

      Dolby is a very respected engineering and research organization. It's got great name recognition so it makes it fun to be a part it. The people here are experts in their field yet very down to earth and the creative side of the employees makes for a very well-rounded people.

      Cons

      I don't really have anything to say.

      Great place to work for engineers & technologists. Not recommended for auxiliary functions.

      Pros

      Dolby is a good company to work for in many ways. Work / life balance and benefits are all good. The offices are nice and the company is very smart strategically and produces good technologies / products. I would definitely recommend Dolby as a good place for engineers and researchers - it is driven by technology and totally fascinating. It is - as other reviewers have noted - not a fast-moving place.

      Cons

      I think the ancillary functions - i.e., not engineering or research - tend to be weak. I've actually been appalled at some of the behaviour I've seen in the Corporate Marketing function, which is less important - as it should be - to the company overall. I think this can lead to some um, *unfortunate*, behaviour from members of that team. However, the product and technology people are just amazing.

      Pros

      Work life balance and high knowledge level of employees. Plenty of time off and management and the company really know how to give you a good work / life balance mix. Benefits are good. Good place to be an engineer because they are highly respected within the company and industry.

      Cons

      Not the best salary and stock option packages. If you like fast decision making and an extremely dynamic environment this is not the place. People and management generally move slowly and methodically.
