Our founder, Ray Dolby, was more than a brilliant scientist and inventor. He valued a work environment that fostered both individual creativity and teamwork, intellectual curiosity and practical problem-solving. He believed in forward-thinking, mutual respect, and true work-life balance.

Even as we've become a global company, Dolby Laboratories continues to reflect Ray Dolby's values. Here, science meets art. And high tech goes far beyond computer code.

How we do it

At Dolby, we know that as the world continues to change, how we get our best work done will change too.

Flex Work @Dolby is our way of being intentional about how we do our best work.

We enable working remotely, while still harnessing the magic of coming together in-person for collaboration, connection, and community. Most employees will be in the office more than zero days a week and less than five days a week. And we encourage our employees to experiment, iterate, and adapt to enable their work.

Our five Flex Work Principles guide each of our employees and their teams to engage in this journey.

One Dolby: We’ll make decisions that are in the best interest of the team, and that will allow us to deliver the most value to one another and Dolby.
Trust: We trust and empower one another as the experts on how to do our best work.
Connection: We believe that authentic connection takes intention, and we will continue to experiment with the most effective ways to connect — whether that is virtually or in-person.
Flexibility: Finding our flex balance will be about setting boundaries while being flexible about flexibility as our work ebbs and flows.
Belonging: As a community, we honor our differences and seek to harness these to enable the best work to happen.
