      good people but limited growth

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people, compensation and benefits. Since Audible is its own org within amazon employees get additional perks on top of amazon benefits.

      Cons

      there isn't a lot of opportunity for growth, and a lot of the work involved amazon integration, putting out fires, or maintaining legacy infrastructure. work on new features was rare.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Safe in terms of job security

      Cons

      Some of the orgs are extremely political and the leadership/management is extremely toxic towards the employees. They don't treat the employees with respect.
