Pros

Audible is a growth company inside a BigCo, and has some of the pros and cons of both. Pros would include great culture, work life balance and perks (great food, parties, etc.). Also smart, experienced coworkers and established teams with experts but also large enough to support less experienced new hires.

Cons

Being in Newark is not ideal, especially if your partner works in NYC, but living in NJ does save a lot of money. As a growth company within Amazon, finding the right balance regarding how much time to invest in planning vs. executing is difficult.

Business Outlook

Pros

Audible while 20+ years old still has a start feel to it and embraces change and is an innovative place to work. You can find your voice a this company and infuse new ideas in a way most companies don't empower you to do. Great place to get energized and to see ideas flourish from start to finish.

Cons

While structure is important and beneficial even in a "start up" culture, we need to hear, see and connect more with our leaders, especially our senior leaders. We know they are working hard, making critical decisions every day but if it doesn't trickle down, if they cannot be asked questions and connect with them, audible will become a corporation culture. Also, we have an interesting relationship with Amazon. I think there is room for improvement and to really create a clear line where we need to be intricately connected and where we can be independent so we can all operated optimally.
