Business Outlook

Pros

I work on new technologies. My team is constantly spinning up new services and I get to bring in new tech. We’re a subsidiary of Amazon so it comes with all the internal resources, tooling, and AWS infrastructure. I have a great relationship with my boss, mentor, and teammates. Pay and benefits are excellent

Cons

It seems like some of the Amazon culture has started to drift into Audible. There has also been a recent push towards return to office 2 days a week. Some people love it, most don’t

Pros

It is a unique industry. It had Amazon perks but was a small company environment. Alot of support without micromanagement.

Cons

There was a lot of competition for the roles we were filling.. Felt a little siloed bc we didn't meet with a lot of other departments except on quarterly calls.
