Pros

- good compensation - Dolby generous with Holiday days, if you have time to take them - fun industry - good, hard - working, fun staff

Cons

- NO work/life balance - poor communication from Executive Management - losing site of industry trends - entire company works in silos with no cross synergies - bias across functions / no consistency - Dolby use to promote forward thinking, now becoming a "yes-man" culture - it seems execs are tailoring business to secure bonuses - SAP implementation was absolutely horrible, poor judgement of CIO and CFO to employ subpar consultant
