Pros
9/80 work schedule Knowledgable coworkers who have great ideas for innovation
Cons
Big ego senior management and corporate politics have destroyed this company. A whole bunch of good talent got laid off. Many with over 20 years experience. Call them old guard, dead wood or whatever you want, but they hold the keys to why the company was so successful for so long. Instead of bringing those people up to the new ideas and business thinking, consultants and management pushed a large number of people out the door. The company is reactionary. Even their huge success with Dolby Digital was a reaction to outside companies making products to compete with Dolby. The general feeling from licensees is that Dolby is there to collect royalties with little effort to earn them. The management also believes that the world will bow to their whims because they are Dolby. Sorry, that may have worked in 1975, but not now. Your competition is eating you alive.
