- Not many cons I would say about this company!
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Dolby encourages employees to experiment and grow, which perfectly fits the DNA of this historic company. Fair salaries, good benefits, fun to be aligned with the entertainment business, nice people, 9/80 schedule is lovely. The company has particularly shone during the pandemic by taking care of employees in numerous ways.
Cons
Need to be mindful in the neighborhood, but excellent 24 security and safety measures.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
9/80 work schedule is tough to beat!

Vacation time is only 3 weeks to start which is low for seasoned workers
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
9/80 schedule, every other Friday off to re-energize Flexible Work schedule R&D and Eng teams creating great tech for entertainment Amazing facilities
Cons
Leadership is unable to create a mission statement paired with values. It's difficult to do your work without these. Political culture based on performative alyship. Even with the addition of new systems, there are too many manual processes. Inefficient roll out of new initiatives. Though they say they are collaborative, every department moves to the beat of their own drum.

- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
With 9/80 schedule work life balance is great. Benefits are comparable to bay area.
Cons
Limited growth opportunities Salary compensation is not great.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
love the 9/80 work schedule!
Cons
nothing bad to say about the company! truly love all the people I work with
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Truly inclusive management respect and decision making. Opportunity galore to grow and learn. The universal 9/80 work schedule is a definite draw. The ESPP program is also a big perk.
Cons
Salaries are not competitive in many areas of the business, and vacation accrual is capped at 2 weeks per year, and must be accrued before expending, but can grow to an overall cap.

Pros
9/80 schedule (every other Friday off), great work/life balance, decent pay/benefits, onsite gym and cafeteria, RSUs and profit sharing, ESPP, bonuses, 401k matching, (healthy) snacks. I can only speak for myself on this but awesome teammates/function who are friendly, actually work as a team and are supportive both in career and personal matters, and no micromanaging. I think Dolby is working hard on large initiatives such as sustainability and DBI. Financial stability - Dolby hardly has debt.
Cons
I think there are some people who come off entitled and expect immediate solutions that only would benefit their agenda vs the bigger picture. You may see some 'cliquey-ness.' Not a lot of upward mobility or recognition reflecting in salary raises/bonuses - you/your manager really has to fight for it or find creative ways. You're not prioritized if you're not in a revenue generating group. No teeth from management - a lot of 'wrist slapping' and letting people do what they want when it comes to spending money or not following procedures and then want to complain about it later.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
9 /80 hours work schedule
Cons
There is no obvious cons.
