Pros

Compensation The salary offered is competitive and aligned with industry standards. Meals Food and meal benefits are satisfactory and support daily convenience. Work-Life Balance The environment encourages a relaxed pace—ideal for those prioritizing personal time over aggressive career growth. Personal Milestones It's a suitable place for individuals focusing on personal milestones, such as marriage or starting a family, while maintaining a recognizable brand on their résumé. International Locations Audible offers an exceptional experience for employees outside the United States—particularly in cities like Berlin, London, Sydney, and Singapore, where the company culture is especially enriching.

Cons

Broken Alignment Across the Company There’s a persistent lack of clarity and cohesion in how work is prioritized, Newark, and how leadership shows up. Senior management often feels disconnected, and the brand itself is suffering from an identity crisis that trickles down into daily operations. Strategic clarity is the exception, not the norm. Performative Culture Audible’s internal push to “Activate Caring” isn’t just a quirky slogan—it’s a symptom. It reflects a deeper cultural issue: a default mode of indifference. Empathy and collaboration have to be manufactured, not modeled from the top. Discrimination and Targeted Layoffs Patterns of exclusion based on ethnicity and background—whether subtle or overt—have been observed across engineering and BI functions.

Pros

Audible is an Amazon company. I think as a whole, this company attracts people who are kind and fun spirited. Some who come from other big tech companies may think us as nerdy or quiet but I think it’s the lack of toxic compatibility that you tend to see at those other companies. I purely enjoy working with my colleagues and the work that I do, which I can hardly say about the other big tech companies I worked at. Free lunch and commuter/parking benefit

Cons

5-day RTO. The headquarter is in Newark, NJ. The commute can be hard for some.
