Dolby Laboratories Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Review from HR Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

The current management style is to compensate anyone who helps to maintain the perception of gradual improvement. Political animals will have a successful career at Dolby, all others will be ostracized. This is why it has 50% staff for >10yr span and the remainder churns over in short interval.

I wish the company were more generous with equity.
