Pros

Fantastic experience. Lots of innovation, fast-paced culture, surrounded by smart people, great resume-builder and you will learn a lot! Casual work environment (jeans, lunch served daily). Get to have "an Amazon company" on your resume.

Cons

Insane workload, political infighting, lack of alignment between senior leaders, resulting in constant firedrills with "get it done now" mentality. Absolutely no regard for work/life balance or job satisfaction. Pace is exhausting and burnout is common. Time off/vacation is horrible. In some groups, 12-14/hr days are expected. You will bring work home every night and weekend.

Pros

Audible is an Amazon company. I think as a whole, this company attracts people who are kind and fun spirited. Some who come from other big tech companies may think us as nerdy or quiet but I think it’s the lack of toxic compatibility that you tend to see at those other companies. I purely enjoy working with my colleagues and the work that I do, which I can hardly say about the other big tech companies I worked at. Free lunch and commuter/parking benefit

Cons

5-day RTO. The headquarter is in Newark, NJ. The commute can be hard for some.
