Pros

Great comp, great engineers and people, awesome product

Cons

It's part of Amazon. As amazon degrades and becomes a day 2 company, so has Audible. Mandate fatigue, weaponization of "s-team goals" etc. Long period of hiring freeze did not slow down ambitiousness of work, I believe they're on course to just be absorbed entirely by Kindle.

Pros

Talented and passionate people remain – for now Projects can have a scope that most companies baulk at Really the only company doing what they're doing right now Once a great place to work, and still hoping it might be again

Cons

Massive culture shift heading towards soulless Amazon politics over talent Active bullies appointed to senior roles with little to no oversight Paranoia and job insecurity flourishing without any action from SLT Contract staff with full-time loads are rarely transitioned to FTE allegedly due to lack of headcount, meanwhile regional leads are hiring 5 of their friends to do half of one person's job
