Pros

Smart co-workers, so you learn things from them every day. Dolby isa " behind the scenes" leader of many new technologies.

Cons

Management does not encourage technical advancement and management skills development. Decisions are always based on "consensus, " but the only consensus at the end of most meetings is to have more meetings. Few people are granted specific decision making authority.
