Pros

Amazing product and does great work in the community

Cons

Constant re-orgs mean if you dont play politics you will never get promoted, especially in Finance/Insights. Hard work doesnt pay, managers play favorites, and promises are never kept. Horrible place to come for a career. Not a start up feel as some may try to convince you it is.

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.
