Pros

Very understanding of work/family balance and flexibility to WfH. The business is doing tremendously well, and you would think that would mean happy employees, but...

Cons

Unfortunately there are limited opportunities for career growth. Recruiters tout multiple opportunities per year for promotions but I haven't seen the rapid upward movement they speak about. Audible/Amazon degrades the value of your experience. They'll often bring you in a level lower than you were previously, claiming that their Director role is the equivalent of a Senior Director role elsewhere. This is bad for employee morale, as before you even enter a company, you're undervalued. Also, I have found the disparity they claim is between their role definition and other companies is non-existent. Very disappointing to find out that you shouldn't have taken a title and salary hit...

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.
