Pros

As my 4 star review reflects, I'm very happy at Audible - one of the best jobs I've had. Great office space, great snacks/lunch, and interesting work with a great team. However, your experience very much depends on who your immediate manager is.

Cons

While my manager is excellent, there are some I know who are not and upper leadership in the company seems very political (both office politics and political politics) and simultaneously out of touch with what is happening on the ground.

Pros

Audible is an Amazon company. I think as a whole, this company attracts people who are kind and fun spirited. Some who come from other big tech companies may think us as nerdy or quiet but I think it’s the lack of toxic compatibility that you tend to see at those other companies. I purely enjoy working with my colleagues and the work that I do, which I can hardly say about the other big tech companies I worked at. Free lunch and commuter/parking benefit

Cons

5-day RTO. The headquarter is in Newark, NJ. The commute can be hard for some.
