A great company riding super fast on the freeway of ruin
Pros
Catered lunch, snacks, AMZN RSUs. If free lunch and vesting stocks worth $$$ are the only thing that matters in your life this is the place.
Cons
Audible is a market leader in the audiobooks rapidly growing in double digits that has forgotten about its secret sauce that made it happen- People. To the CEO or whoever is in charge de facto people don't matter any more. The company is run by a handful of stooges Director and above who are selfish mean and self-serving to the core. Most of the people are the result of attrition of one specific company across the Hudson and they have brought their politics and selfishness here and infused it in every corner. It used to be a high energetic place where young people were busy writing codes to their destiny and making audible successful. However these middle management stooges have come and brought their own stooges from across the Hudson in droves and installed them in every corner. There is absolutely no direction anywhere. The Directors/VPs have massive egos and just keep throwing people in the fire for them. For the Analysts and Technology people we are openly trated as second class employees compared to an elite group of entitled losers called the "Business". The Business on the other hand don't know the basics of business yet take the key decisions. Most of the middle management are incapable and narrow minded and set people below them on a wild goose chase for months every now and then and after nothing fruitful comes out of these bound for failure ventures they accuse the developers and then set them on a PIP (their favorite weapon of torture). Rest do some basic googling about employee grievances.
