Thank you for your alumni review. We realize that our rapid growth and the changes to our internal processes can be unsettling. We like consistency too, but when we make a change it’s for the purpose of preparing Audible for the future. Growing pains may accompany these changes, but they’re a necessary and challenging part of innovating on behalf of our customers. We appreciate the feedback on your experience working with us.

Pros

- Great flexibility options - be it working from home or leaving early/starting later, most managers are very understanding and flexible. Options exist around more formal flexible working patterns for both parents and non parents which is great to see. - Good perks as an employee - Amazon Stock, discounts, free food - Widely comfortable and friendly office environment - I've made some really valuable friendships here with the people I work with - People you work with really care about the product and want to bring out the best for the business and it's customers

Cons

- Bureaucratic mechanisms make progress and/or change very slow and tedious - US focus means that we sometimes miss the mark in the international market place - Inconsistency around work space and benefit offerings when comparing to the US and other offices - needs a revamp across the board to be in line with the 21st century - Culture can seem quiet and detached which has it's purpose, but does not feel particularly inclusive
