Pros

Free lunch Amazon stock vests after one year of service Good parental leave Not expected to work long hours or on weekends

Cons

Boring corporate structure and boring office. Very little personality in the company, and the brand. Desperately wants to move quickly like a startup, but doesn’t have the flexibility or technology to make it happen. Too many processes in place that have single points of failure. CRO is signing off on marketing plans and making product decisions. So much business jargon. Antiquated internal Amazon tools make easy things difficult. Newark is so far from NYC and there is nothing to do. Can’t run any errands at lunch time. No camaraderie after work because no one wants to hang out in Newark after work.

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.
