      I love it

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I work on new technologies. My team is constantly spinning up new services and I get to bring in new tech. We’re a subsidiary of Amazon so it comes with all the internal resources, tooling, and AWS infrastructure. I have a great relationship with my boss, mentor, and teammates. Pay and benefits are excellent

      Cons

      It seems like some of the Amazon culture has started to drift into Audible. There has also been a recent push towards return to office 2 days a week. Some people love it, most don’t

      Managers are terrible

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - office is well decorated and the free food is good - amenities offered are great

      Cons

      - terrible upper management - heavy virtue signaling, fake kindness is rampant. Managers speaking poorly of other managers and employees openly is very common. - upper management is “untouchable” and untrustworthy, beware of sweet words and always get things in writing. - beware of what you share with managers - unwelcoming, a lot of managers and employees alike will speak their native language in meetings and in the office, often leaving non speakers in the dark and needing clarification. Was able to work around this for the most part, but at times felt like i didn’t belong.

      Horrible and full of politics

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent office space, None that I could think of.

      Cons

      - Non competitive salaries - No growth, growth is based out of favoritism and politics - If you are the outstanding performer in the team, then you really don't get anything. - Tech debt, people are not willing to adopt to latest tech stack.

      We’re disappointed to hear about your experience at Audible. Our team works hard to create an environment that supports and empowers our employees. We believe communication is the only key to real, lasting change, and encourage you to have a conversation with your skip level manager to share your feedback if you’ve already reached out to your direct manager and HRBP.
