Pros

* Management is supportive of employee's wholesome career growth and encourages internal mobility for the same. * Company has programs to support employees to study and improve using outside resources in terms of tuition support as well standard free subscriptions for major learning platforms and certification fee waivers. * Flexible remote work as per team and good work life balance. * Company strongly believes and nurtures company principles which ensures certain degree of support across teams as well sense of community.

Cons

* Company compensation might not be as competitive. * Career promotion process can be bit hassle with it being mired with a certain degree of office politics. It might seem not big of a deal but even though Audible is an Amazon subsidiary, they do not have quarterly promotion reviews but rather semi-annually and even a single cycle can cost some one.

Pros

I work on new technologies. My team is constantly spinning up new services and I get to bring in new tech. We’re a subsidiary of Amazon so it comes with all the internal resources, tooling, and AWS infrastructure. I have a great relationship with my boss, mentor, and teammates. Pay and benefits are excellent

Cons

It seems like some of the Amazon culture has started to drift into Audible. There has also been a recent push towards return to office 2 days a week. Some people love it, most don’t
