Pros

A foot in the door at Amazon Good Benefits Good ideals Aspirational cultural values

Cons

Stack ranking creates horrible culture Highly political Compensation no longer as competitive as it used to be HR has no real policies or controls, especially in regards to COVID tracing and reporting Slowly being absorbed by Amazon Middle management too busy patting each other on the back, stabbing each other in the back, or trying to get Bob's attention Career growth isn't a thing, but the bar is low enough that it's a place to park for a while for many Management still committed to getting everyone back in the office

Thank you for your feedback. Our team works hard to create a productive environment so we’re disappointed to hear you had a different experience. We realize that our rapid growth and the changes to our internal processes can be unsettling. We like consistency too, but when we make a change it’s for the purpose of preparing Audible for the future. I invite you to connect with your HRBP or your manager for further conversation. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Glassdoor.

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.
