Pros

Stock options, free lunch, complimentary Audible subscription account

Cons

No work life balance. Too much on call duties, as there is no separate support team for handling production issues, development team is responsible for both development and maintenance/support and its mandatory for a developer to perform oncall duties. With oncall duties its hard to plan any vacation. This place is full of h1b visa holders, they work 60 hours/week and if you don't do the same, it will be reflected in your annual performance reviews. Its very hard to move internally to other amazon offices because of politics.

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.
