Mid-higher management has no coherent strategy of growth
The audiobook industry and audio industry at large has low barrier of entry. The golden days of fueling the growth via Amazon traffic is gone
Very high staff overhead. The HR has no idea how to retain talent. Most people just get the stocks and leave.

Chaotic management with large Corp bureaucracy
Product owner and product manager kiss each other more than negotiate.
