Pros

Benefits are a highlight. Technical expertise in media is amazing; simply the best especially in audio. A lot of people "eat their own dog food" here, and many times the technology created starts out being used in employees home studios, home theaters.

Cons

Politics are repressive, especially in sales / marketing. People here work to keep their job, not to further the company. The old guard needs to empower, not intimidate. For all the talent, Dolby's not released anything relevant in 20 years to the market.
