Pros

Comp 9/80 schedule Affordable lunches In-office events are fun, thanks to a healthy budget

Cons

Very bureaucratic. Here, you are just a number and a cog in the machine. Not much flexibility in your work schedule if you need to work remote or take some time off. No sick leave. Strictly business and Dolby’s “company culture” is way behind the curve in terms of the tech world. Not much effort happening in diversity/inclusion. Archaic systems & processes. Dolby’s ERP system is stuck in the 70’s, causing company wide issues, and doesn’t plan to update it in the near future.
