Audible reviews

This company has become the country club of short sighted selfish leadership, who encourage a "yes man" culture. If you are an out of the box thinker this may not be the place for you. Rampant politics and backstabbing happens here. In case you want a future career in politics and want to run for office or want to be the next Gaius Julius Caesar this is the place. The teams that run the business and on the key strategic aspects has an army of incompetent people who only prefer to engage in politics and step over the shoulders of hard working folks and move to the next level. Really pathetic HR team and immigration related support. If you really want to hurt your path to permanent residency you are in the right place. Things get delayed by years just because the immigration support is so lackadaisical. The leadership is absolutely blind to a long term strategy and vision for the company. All they want into hoard more stocks for the next year and play the game of oneupmanship. I have come across lots of people making big decisions here who cannot add a few cells in a spreadsheet yet walk around with so much air of their big positions and titles. The technology/engineering and analysts teams are the worst sufferers. They are treated like second class human beings on good days and like doormats on most days of the year. Projects are dropped like when they are 80% done and again they are tasked on something else that's equally likely to fail. In short in terms of innovation and strategy Audible cannot hold a candle in front of its parent company yet encourage people to hold them in the same regard. Another dangerous cultural problem here is the minion culture. Every director and above have their inner circle of minions who hang out with them, make them look good in their own eyes and sing praises of them. These minions are the real terror of this company the unproductive middle managers who just terrorize the worker bees and mould them into future minions.
