Pros

Free food available all day. Lunch in a great cafeteria. Cool office, mostly upbeat people. Very smart people as well.

Cons

Risk averse management who are hesistant to go places they haven't been before. Often ridiculous reasoning behind decision making. Can be as simple as "customer called to complain" aka one customer decides what's best for everyone or very small focus groups. The people who are enthusiastic about working there are almost cult-like .

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.
