Pros

Great academic culture and outstanding people especially if you enjoy technical work. Solid business model(s), no debt, excellent corporate performance even in a difficult economy.

Cons

Some paradigm paralysis due to the long running success. This is evident in some markets where Dolby is traditionally a leader, but is loosing ground to new players. Technical experts are promoted to management positions that do not have broad backgrounds to be well rounded managers. Traditional, Conservative business approach at the senior management level.
