Pros

Free lunch Amazon stock vests after one year of service Good parental leave Not expected to work long hours or on weekends

Cons

Boring corporate structure and boring office. Very little personality in the company, and the brand. Desperately wants to move quickly like a startup, but doesn’t have the flexibility or technology to make it happen. Too many processes in place that have single points of failure. CRO is signing off on marketing plans and making product decisions. So much business jargon. Antiquated internal Amazon tools make easy things difficult. Newark is so far from NYC and there is nothing to do. Can’t run any errands at lunch time. No camaraderie after work because no one wants to hang out in Newark after work.

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.
