Middle/senior management is woefully inconsiderate of current tech trends.
Getting anything done is an impossible nightmare. There's not just the typical bureaucracy to overcome; you've also got to deal with the fact that few developers, product managers, pencil-pushers, and engineers alike actually UNDERSTAND the product.
Very little career development support.
Audible's administration is often at odds with official Amazon administration, which has made me need to fight tooth and nail for the benefits and rewards I've earned.
When major changes come to tax, benefit, and RSU policies, there's hardly any communication or support.
Compensation is absolutely pathetic given that Audible advertises its "close proximity" to NYC. Raises are impossible to achieve beyond the meager 1% "cost of living" increases, which are far below today's rate of inflation.
RSUs used to pad those pathetic wages. Amazon's stock price always plummets during the typical employee RSU vesting periods. (HMMMMM!)
We spend half the year on Audible's dumbed down, idiotic version of the OP1 process and then follow almost none of the actual things decided on during those discussions.
Newark - this city is a disgusting wasteland. Nobody should ever have to commute to there from NYC. New Jersey Transit is less effective than the MTA - that's really saying something.
The company has not dealt with their enormous expansion efforts very well.
