Pros

Amazon shares Looks good on the CV People in general are nice which is the only reason I wouldn't give 1*

Cons

Don't be fooled by stuff like free food, table tennis or even flexible working because the working culture in general stinks. Senior management routinely knock back new ideas and thinking. They are happy to rest on their laurels. People management is dire, with a lot of vague or conflicting feedback and no clarity of direction.There's a very prominent core clique heavily invested in self-congratulatory nonsense and telling peoplehow amazing they are. If you talk the talk and fall in with this group, you are far more likely to be successful than if you actually get your job done. It's all politics and playing games. Staff turnover has been very high for quite a while considering there's barely 100 people. I will be leaving at the earliest opportunity.

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.
