Nice culture. Poor management. Horrible HR team.

Pros

Perks. Free food. Smart co-workers. Office cultures. Work life balance. Some projects are good.

Cons

1. Location is not ideal. Even though they provide shuttle service from the path station, the location is just not safe. I've seen people getting into fights with blood all over at the station and heard female co-workers being harassed at the station. 2. Managers play favoritism a lot. Be aware of the team you're joining. There are still some good teams and good managers. Not many though. 3. The management has no concern for the employee but only for what's beneficial to themselves. 4. Constant re-org. Lots of politics. You might be surprised. 5. HR team is the worst I've ever seen. A lot of them are not doing their job properly.

Pros

Almost everyone loves the product. It is great to work for a company with a recognizable name, and where there is positive customer sentiment. The People Principles are very real, and meaningful. Audible's commitment to Activate Caring really sets it apart from other companies. You can be your authentic self at work. Perks and benefits are great, really unusual as compared to other companies. Compensation is good, heavy on Amazon RSU's. They really do a lot to differentiate the employee experience and work environment. Flexible work environment is a big plus. There is new focus on career development, which is great.

Cons

Need to be more transparent about decisions and decision-making. Schizophrenic about being part of Amazon or not part of Amazon. The culture is very different, though. Work is not distributed evenly, so some teams are overworked, and others are not.
