      Pros

      Great comp, great engineers and people, awesome product

      Cons

      It's part of Amazon. As amazon degrades and becomes a day 2 company, so has Audible. Mandate fatigue, weaponization of "s-team goals" etc. Long period of hiring freeze did not slow down ambitiousness of work, I believe they're on course to just be absorbed entirely by Kindle.

      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.
