Pros

Amazon backing and new senior leadership on the product and tech sides looking to inject energy into a culture that has become stale.

Cons

Audible is trying desperately to figure out who it wants to be when it grows up. It takes advantage of Amazon technology, but the engineering culture is a far cry from that found at the mother ship. Overall, senior leadership doesn't embrace Amazon which leaves employees in an interesting position. We like to say we are part of amazon, but leadership doesn't want any part of amazon. There are folks there that have passion and drive, but ultimately the company hasn't delivered true innovation in far too long.

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.
