Pros

• Free catered lunch daily • Generous salary • Weekly happy hours • Company sports leagues • CEO that really values company culture & giving back to the community

Cons

Sure, the free lunch is great, but after a while you'll be happy to trade that and the other perks to avoid the BS from the senior level management. While Audible is a great product and the "market leader" in audiobooks, it's struggling to find its way on the inside. Constant restructuring has teams from all verticals juggling various priorities, many times outside their areas of expertise. Intracompany politics are rampant with some high level execs playing favorites and blocking the career growth of junior staff. While they will sell you on all the personal growth opportunities upon your hire, you quickly realize that this is a farce and most promotions are in title only with no real increase in responsibility. There are some wonderful people that work here but there has been a huge amount of turnover over the past year and it appears that trend won't be ending anytime soon unless senior leadership gets back to basics and keeps the Amazon corporate culture of "burn & churn" away.

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.
