Pros

The people and team I work on are a huge plus - a combination of thoughtful, energetic, and wanting to make a difference/have an impact. There is a wonderful sense of camaraderie and care that comes up in the small day to day interactions as well as in larger moments. That the company has an aspiration to be more than what it does - there is a missionary aspect that is expected of everyone. There is also an aspiration to be a progressive and inclusive workplace that is not just lip service. While there is work to be done, work is happening.

Cons

There have been a lot of changes during my short tenure - whether that be small organizational ones or larger ones. It can be fatiguing to keep up with the changes and to see the bigger picture. That said, recent leadership changes at the top coupled with the implementation of focused goals for the organization show great promise to addressing the amount of change that has been commonplace for quite awhile. A meeting heavy culture without meeting management rigor, but this is true of many organizations.

Pros

If you are looking to get a job that encourages you to participate in community events (on their dime) that actually mean something, this is a big plus. If you are looking for a job that brings smiles to whole neighborhoods in need, all while paying you, you will love it here. You will be challenged to excel and be recognized for it. you will need to step out of your comfort zone. I view that as a pro. Every day at Audible is fun. Some are just more funner than others.

Cons

You have to work for your pay. This is how they pay for the free lunch which is an instant raise in pay since you no longer need to go out for lunch.. you work at a high level with very intelligent people. Be prepared to be challenged. Some people view this as a con. I view it as a plus. It is never boring. ever. again, Every day at Audible is fun. Some are just more funner than others. It depends on your outlook on life.
