Pros

Great people, compensation and benefits. Since Audible is its own org within amazon employees get additional perks on top of amazon benefits.

Cons

there isn't a lot of opportunity for growth, and a lot of the work involved amazon integration, putting out fires, or maintaining legacy infrastructure. work on new features was rare.

Pros

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

Disorganisation. Commute can be hard.

Pros

Your hours are very flexible as you just have to submit the first 15 minutes of the book by a certain date and then the final audiobook by a certain deadline.

Cons

This was a royalty share contract with no base pay and I only made about $70 total after many hours of work.
