Pros

- Free lunch - Weekly happy hour - Gym/commuting reimbursement - Amazon RSU - Some really smart and helpful people but it's hard to seek them out in a very political culture

Cons

- Lack of visionary product leaders - High turnover - Constant change in strategy from upper management - Lack of transparency given the hierarchal org structure - HR is not to be trusted with any concerns or bullying you might experience - No clear career path and very random/inconsistent promotions based on relationships rather than metrics and output - Internal transfer policy can be improved, Google "Amazon employee suicide"

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.
