Pros

- Amazing/great product - Really bright people passionate about what they do - Team environment - Free catered lunch - Great work/life balance (no formal work-from-home policy but it can be done from time to time) - Free shuttle to Newark Penn It is amazing to be able to work with such a dedicated team that encourages and promotes growth from within. If you have an idea for a project, get the right people in the room, discuss it, decide who will own what, and execute. In the end of the day, one of the most gratifying things is to be behind the scenes and see all the hard work and the people involved to make such [a] great product(s).

Cons

Required section. I guess that it is not located in Newark Penn but the shuttle only takes 5 minutes so it's not really a "con".

Pros

So I have been an Audible employee since 2010 and have personally watched this company grow to the dominant force that it is today. Audible truly takes care of their employees as well as it's customers. I started my career in the Customer Service department and moved up several steps from there. This is truly a company where you can grow, be trained, and become a master of your craft.

Cons

It would be hard to say anything bad about this company today. We are truly at a place where I can say to anyone that wanted to join that this is an awesome place to be.
