      Pros

      - office is well decorated and the free food is good - amenities offered are great

      Cons

      - terrible upper management - heavy virtue signaling, fake kindness is rampant. Managers speaking poorly of other managers and employees openly is very common. - upper management is “untouchable” and untrustworthy, beware of sweet words and always get things in writing. - beware of what you share with managers - unwelcoming, a lot of managers and employees alike will speak their native language in meetings and in the office, often leaving non speakers in the dark and needing clarification. Was able to work around this for the most part, but at times felt like i didn’t belong.

      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.
