Pros

The people and team I work on are a huge plus - a combination of thoughtful, energetic, and wanting to make a difference/have an impact. There is a wonderful sense of camaraderie and care that comes up in the small day to day interactions as well as in larger moments. That the company has an aspiration to be more than what it does - there is a missionary aspect that is expected of everyone. There is also an aspiration to be a progressive and inclusive workplace that is not just lip service. While there is work to be done, work is happening.

Cons

There have been a lot of changes during my short tenure - whether that be small organizational ones or larger ones. It can be fatiguing to keep up with the changes and to see the bigger picture. That said, recent leadership changes at the top coupled with the implementation of focused goals for the organization show great promise to addressing the amount of change that has been commonplace for quite awhile. A meeting heavy culture without meeting management rigor, but this is true of many organizations.

Pros

Audible has been great for my career and really given me a chance to grow as an engineer. Even in an entry level role you have the opportunity to work on and drive the creation of challenging features while utilizing the newest technologies. The benefits are very competitive too.

Cons

Things can be a little disorganized; Audible is a fairly large company at this point but still acts like a small startup in many regards, which is both a good thing and a bad thing
