      Pros

      - Nice coworkers - Interesting product - Passionate user base - Inspiring founder - Company is socially conscious and truly aims to make the world a better place

      Cons

      - Deep product management expertise is missing at the leadership level. - There has been very little strategy or vision for years. - Despite desire to work in an outcome-focused way, roadmaps are driven by feature ideas from leaders, rather than empowering teams to solve and iterate. - Painful, waterfall-like quarterly planning. - Over-indexation on document writing and product specs. - Tenure is rewarded over performance.

      Pros

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

      Cons

      Disorganisation. Commute can be hard.

      Pros

      Your hours are very flexible as you just have to submit the first 15 minutes of the book by a certain date and then the final audiobook by a certain deadline.

      Cons

      This was a royalty share contract with no base pay and I only made about $70 total after many hours of work.
