Pros

Great people, compensation and benefits. Since Audible is its own org within amazon employees get additional perks on top of amazon benefits.

Cons

there isn't a lot of opportunity for growth, and a lot of the work involved amazon integration, putting out fires, or maintaining legacy infrastructure. work on new features was rare.

Pros

Lots of great collaboration, get to work with a lot of smart people from different backgrounds and Audible/Amazon offers lots of trainings/workshops for new technology. There is always something you can learn!

Cons

Communication needs improvement, lack of career roadmap/leveling for contractors and several recent layoffs (these are specific to contractors)
