Pros

A product focused company that makes engineering central to the company. You are treated as a first class citizen and get all the benefits of working with Amazon tech. You also work with lots of really bright engineers and designers from all over audible and Amazon everyday.

Cons

Lots of employee turnover. People stay on average of 1-4 years. Most of the blame falls squarely on product management. They will have you work on products that will never launch and keep changing their minds even at the last second. Products also don't innovate fast enough due to ineffective planning at the vp level and higher.

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.
