Pros

Dolby Laboratories in one is very low-profile company that has an inspiring founder. This is one of the oldest companies in a technology field located in the heart of San Francisco. The company also has a manufacturing facility in Brisbane on the Peninsula. The company has a hand in the film industry and has the most renown for this; its technology has also been adopted as a standard in communications and most consumer electronics.

Cons

The company does not effectively create an environment that provides work-life balance for employees. Many salaried employees worked non-stop, over weekends and holidays with long overtime hours during the period when the company went through IPO. Neither does the organization pro-actively provide opportunities for employees to grow.
