      Toxic culture, appalling leadership - Anonymous employee Audible Employee Review

      Pros

      Generous compensation and RSUs Some amazing passionate and talented people

      Cons

      Awful work environment largely due to very poor senior leadership setting an example of bad behaviours as acceptable. Lacking innovation and the business is at risk of becoming obsolete if not addressed quickly. Professes to be customer obsessed but the only real obsession is dollars which drive every decision, even those at the detriment of customers. Calls itself a tech company but really all it does (and knows how to do) is sell audiobooks. Management do not act with integrity, communication is shockingly bad. Employees are not valued or treated with respect, lots of backstabbing and politics.

      Pros

      Audible is an Amazon company. I think as a whole, this company attracts people who are kind and fun spirited. Good product.

      Cons

      Disorganisation. Commute can be hard.

      Pros

      Audible is an Amazon company. I think as a whole, this company attracts people who are kind and fun spirited. Some who come from other big tech companies may think us as nerdy or quiet but I think it’s the lack of toxic compatibility that you tend to see at those other companies. I purely enjoy working with my colleagues and the work that I do, which I can hardly say about the other big tech companies I worked at. Free lunch and commuter/parking benefit

      Cons

      5-day RTO. The headquarter is in Newark, NJ. The commute can be hard for some.
