Dolby reviews

* Slow to change * Moving up requires either luck through a void or oppurtunity, or by networking internally - not really merit based. * Poor recognition for what you achieve. Unless you're on a sexy project you might as well be invisible. * Too many managers

Where to begin... Unless you're a talented engineer, look elsewhere for something that will improve your career. Working here is really like that movie "Office Space" - politics and mediocrity are deeply entrenched. Dolby is an engineering company through and through, and it seems only engineering brilliance is recognized and promoted. The marketing organization is a mess right now. Dolby desperately needs qualified people with proven track records, to bring the brand up to date. (It feels like 1998 right now.) The recent marketing re-org was a travesty, but you have to hand it to the management who advised their way out of this – It's truly laughable... those who are the core of the problem, advising on the solution.
