Pros

This is an incredible product and the company is experiencing some amazing growth due to the popularity of digital audio. Audible has some decent perks and is part of Amazon (best part). With a new CEO and management team, this could be a 5 star company.

Cons

The glassdoor reviews and "ratings trends" tell the story here. Just read the reviews and you will get a sense of exactly what is happening. There is an incredible amount of turnover at all levels. I can't overstate this. Audible attracts very talented people but the unhealthy amount of chaos and dysfunction drives everyone out. Much of the chaos starts with the CEO. This is well documented so don't overlook. Some of the senior leaders who "run" the company are also responsible holding this company back. Politics are alive and well across Audible and good luck growing your career if you don't have the "right" manager. Consistently exceeding your goals has little to do with career growth at Audible. Again, beware of choosing Audible over Amazon, Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.

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.
