Great culture and people, but limited growth opportunities - Program Manager Audible Employee Review

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

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

- Free lunch - Free tickets to events in Newark.

- Culture of competition, no longer are pay increases based on how well you performed, rather you need to perform better than the person next to you. We're no longer working together, we're working against each other for pay increase scraps and hoping to not be included in the next round of layoffs. - 5 days in office and they're real jerks about enforcing it. It has created a lot of animosity of employees towards managers. - Lack of strategic vision. At this point it seems like the goal is just to become another department within amazon. - One example of just how ridiculous this place has become is that this year they eliminated President's Day as a company holiday and their explanation was to align to "industry standards". ??? The CEO will do anything to make amazon leadership happy, even if its a detriment to audible employees.
