Pros

In the past, projects felt somewhat scattered across the three products, but this has noticeably improved. There’s more patience for learning compared to other publicly traded companies I’ve worked for. Leadership prioritizes doing things the right way and is willing to invest the necessary time and resources to achieve long-term success. The company is filled with genuinely great people, both at the leadership and IC levels, you feel supported and set up to succeed in your role. RSUs are fair, and the benefits are excellent. Common to see strong performers rewarded with promos 1 year in.

Cons

Managing three distinct products can sometimes feel a bit disjointed when resources are spread across all areas, but this has been improving recently. While senior roles occasionally require late nights, the WLB here is significantly better than at any other tech company I've worked for. TC may be on the lower side for some teams, but largely aligns with the WLB and strong opportunities for growth - lots of folks getting promoted and growing quickly.

Pros

- Competitive Salary & Benefits for a tech company of its size. - A great people team that truly actually tries to make the company a more fun and supportive place to work. - Fun offsites / onsites for team building. - Solid work-life balance, generally flexible. - Bonus structure (if you qualify) is very generous. - Work feels meaningful, you get to work on a product that helps people learn and develop every day. - Lots of internal promotions (depending on your team) - The work really never gets boring, it is fast-paced but not chaotic, like some earlier stage startups can be. Scribd has been around for awhile and is well-structured internally. - Not reliant on funding any longer which takes off a lot of stress.

Cons

- The audiobook space is tough to crack, and a lot of effort has gone into projects that haven’t quite materialized. - User acquisition is very reliant on SEO, which results in volatility often out of anyone’s control. - There could be more transparency on when people leave or get let go, often times you don’t know someone is gone until you go to message them and they are de-activated. - The annual raises could use some flexibility, 2% doesn’t keep up with inflation these days. - Growth has been lagging, which can put a lot of stress on everyone.
