      Pros

      Great comp, great engineers and people, awesome product

      Cons

      It's part of Amazon. As amazon degrades and becomes a day 2 company, so has Audible. Mandate fatigue, weaponization of "s-team goals" etc. Long period of hiring freeze did not slow down ambitiousness of work, I believe they're on course to just be absorbed entirely by Kindle.

      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.
