Pros

Audible is an amazing product to be able to work on and even better employer to work for. Everyone is valued, is imaginative, and works with the customer at the center of everything they do. The company culture and founding principles are inspired by all of its employees. As an Amazon subsidiary, Audible drives innovation with best-in-class technology, is always raising the bar with its people and product, and is an inclusive environment that I love coming to work at every day. Audible is invested in each employee's career growth and career expansion opportunities as well.

Cons

No major downsides to highlight. Overall a positive experience, competitive compensation, and work-life balance.

Poor Leadership

Pros

Great people to work with. Great product. CPO is a good leader and trying to effect change in a positive way, but doesn’t have the right people surrounding him.

Cons

Very poor and inexperienced leadership. Attrition is very very high across all areas of the business. The best people leave which is discouraging and makes building professional relationships near pointless to get the job done. Decisions are made on a whim by some product leaders based on what others are saying internally rather than designing the right solution to solve the customer problem. Hard work and success are not rewarded. Politics rule the game. What has the potential to be a great place to work is in reality dysfunctional. If you get a poor PM leader, expect to work seriously ridiculous hours with no reward for years. If you get a good one, then you have a chance.

Thank you for sharing your view. We believe that open conversation is critical to creating real, positive change. We also want our employees to be surrounded by colleagues that are compassionate and leaders that are inspirational. I invite you to reach out to your HRBP or manager, or to Andy to share your concerns. We’ll continue to listen and live up to our values.
