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.
