Pros

Great place to work. Love all the programs and outreaches that are in place. There's a sense of community that I haven't found in any other company I've worked for. I've learned a lot during my short tenure, not just from my manager but from my colleagues as well. Would recommend Audible as not only a great product but also as a great company with the flexibility I've been looking for in a workplace. The free food, raffled event tickets and RSU's are just some of the awesome perks Audible has to offer.

Cons

Parking is a bit of an issue but there are parking lots within walking distance which Audible pays for.

Pros

Audible is a large and well known tech company for audiobooks. - Most employees have their heart in the right place and will share their struggles with management, and culture, and offer support to each other. - Offices and facilities are good. They are catered lunches, snacks, and the office buildings are well maintained.

Cons

- Toxic culture: Managers frequently use derogatory terms to refer to other hard-working people in the company, sometimes even about people in their team. - Very mixed quality of employees, exacerbated by managers who choose to ignore the incompetence of the employees who agree with them. - There is little space or encouragement of innovation: great ideas and pitches are stifled due to turf wars. - Little opportunity for growth: employees are not challenged to be the best in their field or to continue learning - The company is said to be in growing pains, but this seems to be used as an excuse by middle managers, with promises it will get better in the future, rather than respecting and trying to fix the challenges at hand. - The CEO has no idea of the incompetence within the company, and there are no mechanisms for feedback that goes beyond talking to your manager. - Recruiting is weak and lacks the ability to respect, recognize, and reward talents.

Pros

+Invigorating to work for a company that inspires such passion from their members +I am surrounded by hardworking, bright and kind coworkers +I am gaining great experience in business writing, leading without authority, building a business case and what it means to be customer obsessed +There is a fresh focus on employment culture and development +Amazon Stock, full breakfast Mondays, lunch every day, all day snacks (guacamole, nuts, fruit snacks, M&Ms and Fage Greek Yogurt!) and Friday Happy Hours….gym/commuter benefits and more

Cons

-Growing pains. They got big fast and with that can come some pain. -Don’t join if you can't handle ambiguity. Do join if you thrive when forging the path forward.
