Pros

- Free lunch - Free tickets to events in Newark.

Cons

- Culture of competition, no longer are pay increases based on how well you performed, rather you need to perform better than the person next to you. We're no longer working together, we're working against each other for pay increase scraps and hoping to not be included in the next round of layoffs. - 5 days in office and they're real jerks about enforcing it. It has created a lot of animosity of employees towards managers. - Lack of strategic vision. At this point it seems like the goal is just to become another department within amazon. - One example of just how ridiculous this place has become is that this year they eliminated President's Day as a company holiday and their explanation was to align to "industry standards". ??? The CEO will do anything to make amazon leadership happy, even if its a detriment to audible employees.

Audible is an Amazon company. I think as a whole, this company attracts people who are kind and fun spirited. Good product.

Pros

Lots of great collaboration, get to work with a lot of smart people from different backgrounds and Audible/Amazon offers lots of trainings/workshops for new technology. There is always something you can learn!

Cons

Communication needs improvement, lack of career roadmap/leveling for contractors and several recent layoffs (these are specific to contractors)
