Pros

If you are looking to get a job that encourages you to participate in community events (on their dime) that actually mean something, this is a big plus. If you are looking for a job that brings smiles to whole neighborhoods in need, all while paying you, you will love it here. You will be challenged to excel and be recognized for it. you will need to step out of your comfort zone. I view that as a pro. Every day at Audible is fun. Some are just more funner than others.

Cons

You have to work for your pay. This is how they pay for the free lunch which is an instant raise in pay since you no longer need to go out for lunch.. you work at a high level with very intelligent people. Be prepared to be challenged. Some people view this as a con. I view it as a plus. It is never boring. ever. again, Every day at Audible is fun. Some are just more funner than others. It depends on your outlook on life.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your internship at Audible. We appreciate your feedback and we’re glad you enjoyed working with us. I’m sorry to hear you felt this way about working student compensation. We ensure that all our working student roles are compensated consistently. For our full-time roles, we routinely do industry benchmarking to ensure total compensation is positioned competitively in the local market based on the specifics of the job. I encourage you to address these types of issues with your manager, so that you can have a detailed conversation about your concerns. ~ Anne

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.
