      Not the company it used to be - Software Development Manager Audible Employee Review

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Competitive compensation and benefits, though salary growth has slowed in recent years Free meals and remaining on-site perks are still a plus Work–life balance can be reasonable, depending heavily on team and manager Generally flexible day-to-day expectations compared to many large tech companies

      Cons

      Company culture has steadily eroded over the past several years, with fewer genuine community or morale-building events Increasing emphasis on metrics, efficiency, and profitability over employee well-being Messaging from leadership strongly reinforces that employees are interchangeable resources Noticeable increase in attrition, alongside performance management practices that feel quota-driven rather than performance-driven Ongoing uncertainty following repeated reorganizations and workforce reductions

      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

      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.
