A creative, interesting and purpose-led organisation with an ambition to make great content.

Thanks so much for your review. We are so glad you are inspired by our mission! We also 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. Growing pains may accompany these changes, but they’re a necessary and challenging part of innovating on behalf of our customers. We encourage you to reach out to your HRBP or manager to share this feedback and have further conversation.

Pros

I joined the company because I am a firm believer in their People Principles! It's evident that leadership, including managers and supervisors, are committed to ensuring that Audible is a company where all feel welcomed, included and appreciated. I've only been here a short while, but I'm already thrilled to be part of the Audible Family!

Cons

Due to Covid-19 networking is a bit challenging, but the company offers a lot of employee engagement tools via online meetings (Chime) and opportunities to volunteer. I'm looking forward to things getting back to normal so that I can hopefully meet in person all these colleagues I've grown to respect and admire.
