      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.

      Pros

      Audible is an Amazon company. I think as a whole, this company attracts people who are kind and fun spirited. Good product.

      Cons

      Disorganisation. Commute can be hard.

      Pros

      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

      Cons

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