Pros

Amazingly “nice” people, embracing culture and a company with a genuine mission. The Cathedral is a special place to “innovate” and collaborate with colleagues.

Cons

Often changing priorities, small company has impact on career opportunities but the company is working on a framework to help employees think about careers in new ways (expand, broaden, lead etc).

Pros

Audible has great benefits through Amazon - health plans, commuter reimbursements, complex salary structures that ensure pay equity. Audible-specific perks: free food (three places/menus to choose from now that there are three offices), barista, creative spaces to work alone or collaborate, Newark $500 (if you live in Newark, you can get $500 per month), Happy Hours, and much more... but most importantly, there's an evident desire to help the communities we work in. There are many mission-driven people who are supportive and helpful, something you only see at a start-up or a non-profit.

Cons

Although I see this is a "Con" usually mentioned by a few others, depending on how someone views change, this can be more of a "Pro". There are many functions and roles that still need defining; due to being part of a fast paced industry, there are changes in structure and direction in order to stay competitive - this is not different from any other successful company. Overall, the biggest change has been growth - which is definitely not a bad thing.
