no transparency. treats productive employees as pawns.
What did you like most about the interview process?
emphasis on engagement. transparency on politics.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Rampant decisioning based on job preservation rather than true growth. As a result emphasis is primarily on appearance and gloss rather than real innovation.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Overall, based on the biz model, there is gradual forward progress despite an undertow of opinion that meetings are largely dysfunctional. And they often are due to VP's forming contrary opinions at the 11th hour in order to appear politically cunning by spinning the narrative to under-informed SVP
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.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Rebalance board power away from the dolby family. Clean house at VP and director level, remove the insane egos. Bring back SVPs with a backbone and wisdom. Live up to Ray's high technical aspiration again. Give Wall Street something real to bank on rather than glossy chicken liver.
