Ok maybe "sinking ship" is a bit dire/extreme, but I'm wondering how audible is doing as a company. I'm anticipating an offer, L10, which sounds to be around L6.5 in fang world. Based in Newark. - How's the growth? Stagnant product or staying relevant - How's morale and general energy? I know this may vary by team but I'm wondering about general company or office wide. - How badly has it been infected by Amazon culture? (Doc for everything, high on process low on people, toxic frugality, slowness where the doc is typically the output). Hooray for the loaded question.
I like audible personally a lot. It is my favorite product overall.
L10 is VP level at Amazon...
Does Audible run independently even though acquired by Amazon ?
Are you interviewing for a VP position? L10 = VP
@JW, @RI, I think their levelling is tweaked, where L9 == L6 in Amazon
He must mean Audible L10 which is Amazon L6, though the pay scales don’t map one to one.
Yes, sorry for the confusion. L10 audible role which roughly maps to L6 Amazon
You’re expecting an L10 offer - in Amazon level? You know Audible has title inflation but not level inflation. To your original question - Audible is a strong business but product wise it’s a dud
Audible levels are different from Amazon levels. L10 Audible is around L6 Amazon
They have aligned the levels now with Amazon
