Good managers shield from poor upper leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

As my 4 star review reflects, I'm very happy at Audible - one of the best jobs I've had. Great office space, great snacks/lunch, and interesting work with a great team. However, your experience very much depends on who your immediate manager is.

Cons

While my manager is excellent, there are some I know who are not and upper leadership in the company seems very political (both office politics and political politics) and simultaneously out of touch with what is happening on the ground.

Broken Culture

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free lunch, snacks, drinks, etc. Great people to work with (at the 'grunt' level). "Amazon Subsidiary" on your resume.

Cons

Broken culture stemming from incompetence at the top levels. 8 managers in less than 3 years. Departments at war with each other. Managers fighting each other because of resource shortages. A complete lack of clear vision to align people on. VPs who are trying to help manage people they've never actually met or talked to. No communication going up the chain, but lots of orders coming down. "Always just barely shipping" culture of quality.
