Pros

There are so many talented people working at Audible. I learn something new every day, and I am challenged to consider many viewpoints when making decisions. My input is valued and appreciated, and I can see the results of my work adding to the success of the company.

Cons

Headcount is severely restricted which causes me to have to work long hours, and occasional weekends to keep up with the workload. Though this is no different from other successful employers I have worked for.
