Dolby truly lives up to its reputation for innovation—you get to work on technology that shapes the way the world experiences entertainment. Great culture with a strong focus on collaboration, creativity, and respect. Leadership is approachable and genuinely cares about employee growth and wellbeing.

Pros

It is a very nice firm with friendly people. Everyone knows each other even from different teams. It was a great experience with them. The pay was above average for internships. Great vibe and company culture. Good work life balance.

Cons

The computing resources were shared across teams and could get popular around certain time. Would love to see more GPUs/TPUs set up.
