What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Oh, I don't know... pretty uninspiring group doing as well as they can, I guess. I suppose they need to get better at everything.
Rampant decisioning based on job preservation rather than true growth. As a result emphasis is primarily on appearance and gloss rather than real innovation.
Going after larger growth opportunities.
Review from HR Dept
Leadership is out of touch with the employees and need to improve communication. Annual 360 reviews of all managers should be a must.
Leadership needs to be better at transparency
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.
Review from HR Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Fewer cliques. Leaders need to reward leadership and discourage cliques or politicking. Must focus on results, not who manages up and bullies down most effectively.
Teamwork starts at the top. Managers need to be good leaders to help facilitate teamwork within and between teams.
team is pretty strong overall
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.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Don't take so long to respond to resumes. Seriously, how many good people are going to still be around six months after they apply?
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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.
