Pros

Decent office space, None that I could think of.

Cons

- Non competitive salaries - No growth, growth is based out of favoritism and politics - If you are the outstanding performer in the team, then you really don't get anything. - Tech debt, people are not willing to adopt to latest tech stack.

Pros

Audible is an Amazon company. I think as a whole, this company attracts people who are kind and fun spirited. Good product.

Cons

Disorganisation. Commute can be hard.

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.
