Pros

Amazon compensation, free food and good people

Cons

Management is the worst I have ever seen in a company of this scale. Leadership is untouchable/unsupportive and out of sync with issues on the ground. I've seen the company go backwards on all the things it used to believe in from activate caring to inclusivity. Lately a lot of shady decision making has been happening with back-office teams that Amazon is not aware of. Audible has been unable to grow for 3 years straight now and has been blind to internal and external competition brewing, leading to them being in a very defensive position now. This is causing a lot of stress on the already broken systems and processes across the company that now have to support unachievable targets and I do not see it getting any better in the future.

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.
