Dolby Laboratories Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

My peers and even immediate supervisors are darn good. Higher up the management change its all political blah blah blah and moving boxes on the org chart and calling it "change".

The company culture values volunteering and giving back to the community. The general environment is calm and the people are overall interesting having many talents and interests.

Openness, People minded and connections, accessible

We can bring our authentic selves to work.

Review from HR Dept

Gym . Spinning, salsa, windows.

Supportive - you feel supported if you want to work cross functionally, if you have new ideas to share, if you want to try something different

Review from HR Dept

Everyone seems to want to work to help one another, especially if there's a issue or something out of the ordinary, I've never once had someone not willing to help or point me in the right direction, your own growth is supported by a supportive environment.

Review from HR Dept

Respecting of work life balance

Review from HR Dept

Integrity in ethics, social responsibility and in its products

The people

Review from HR Dept

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.
