Pros

Amazing product and does great work in the community

Cons

Constant re-orgs mean if you dont play politics you will never get promoted, especially in Finance/Insights. Hard work doesnt pay, managers play favorites, and promises are never kept. Horrible place to come for a career. Not a start up feel as some may try to convince you it is.

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.
