SiriusXM reviews

Working environment and culture is the worst I have ever experienced in my career. No one is there to watch out for you.. you are on your own. Instead of working towards a common goal, each department works against each other to make their own numbers. A LOT of politics. It is a 140 people company in Canada and every week at least 3-4 people either resign or let go. Employee turn over is crazy!! I had 4 BOSSES in the 1.5 years I was with the company (no joke!). There were 9 people on my team when I first started working and by the time I resigned there are only 3 people left on the team doing 9 people's job, out of which 2 are less than 3 months old at the company. Employees are not secure about their future here. Most employees I knew are actively looking to get out of here. At this point they are in a process to make the company private and sell it to the parent company in US and the future of this company is really ambiguous. Unless you are really desperate, this company is a BIG DISASTER! I would not recommend it to anyone.

If you’re curious what it’s like to work at SiriusXM, here are some quotes from recent publications: “It is possible that a tech-forward and visionary platform like SiriusXM would subscribe to the outdated, boys’ club mentality historically ascribed to terrestrial radio in its programming? Considering how much of its staff has roots in old-school radio, it’s not all that surprising.” – Variety “The culture fit wasn’t right, either, these former employees say. Multiple people pointed to a survey SiriusXM’s HR team asked them to complete about how things were going and the town hall held in response. Employees had raised concerns about diversity within the company but were told in response that they couldn’t have diversity issues because the company employed a female CEO. Another former employee called a “boomer business mentality, like a toxic business mindset.” – The Verge Though the toxic company culture and blatant lack of diversity are major issues, they pale in comparison to the pay. Salaries aren’t even in the same ballpark as competitors and the company continues to hemorrhage talent as a result of this. Full-time employees receive a standard amount of PTO, however it’s impossible for many to take time off due to an uneven distribution of work. Some employees work around the clock while others hardly login. It’s nearly impossible to get fired for performance reasons, so the culture subsequently rewards the laziest employees. This results in a company full of low performers who continue to get away with it, and high performers doing the work of 2-3 people. The culture also promotes hours of unnecessary meetings and "busy work" which makes it nearly impossible to get any actual work done in a regular 8 hour shift. The company is extremely corporate with lots of bureaucracy and red tape. There’s a total lack of transparency from the top down and management tends to lead with fear and intimidation which causes mistrust and insecurity among employees. Important decisions about your salary, growth and future within the company are made by out of touch C-level executives who’ve never met you face to face. With the “outdated boys club mentality” that Variety details in their article, favoritism and politics play a huge role in your experience at SiriusXM. Sadly, what once seemed like a cool, innovative, and progressive company is anything but.
