Pros

Very understanding of work/family balance and flexibility to WfH. The business is doing tremendously well, and you would think that would mean happy employees, but...

Cons

Unfortunately there are limited opportunities for career growth. Recruiters tout multiple opportunities per year for promotions but I haven't seen the rapid upward movement they speak about. Audible/Amazon degrades the value of your experience. They'll often bring you in a level lower than you were previously, claiming that their Director role is the equivalent of a Senior Director role elsewhere. This is bad for employee morale, as before you even enter a company, you're undervalued. Also, I have found the disparity they claim is between their role definition and other companies is non-existent. Very disappointing to find out that you shouldn't have taken a title and salary hit...

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

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.
