Pros

The people at Wondery are really passionate about Podcasts, and have created some of the best podcast content in the world. In my experience, those same people are down-to-earth, friendly, and open to new ideas, making Wondery a great place to learn and contribute. After being acquired by Amazon Wondery seems to have preserved its unique culture while adding (positive) elements of Amazon. People at Wondery are respected as the best in the business by external partners, but internally are humble and are very willing to experiment.

Cons

The company seems to be struggling between competing priorities after being acquired by Amazon, and as an employee that means your goals might be completely different month to month. Wondery also doesn't consider themselves to be remote (most people are in LA), but if you're looking for a place with office culture, they haven't adopted processes that would support building culture if they were either fully remote or fully in-person.

Pros

I liked most of the people I worked with a lot, decent amount of creative freedom, fun projects.

Cons

Overall, it could be a kind of alienating place to work at times...not to the fault of my co-workers—it just seemed everyone was very busy, low morale, a lot of people not turning their cameras on for meetings, very slow responses from co-workers, sometimes too many cooks and sometimes not enough, not great alignment between leadership and cross functional teams.
