Pros

Money, benefits. I got raises. There is compassion, inclusion. The people are nice. There are very little A-holes. I got good experience and good work in my portfolio. Work/life flexibility and understanding.

Cons

commute to Newark twice a week, major career stagnation. I rate lower on the "work life balance" category because of the commute. Otherwise there's flexibility. Very little promotions, especially in creative. It was hard to get new opportunities or any upward movement, but it was easy to stay because the pay and stock RSU's were good. They started offering a lot of career development programs, but it's still very easy to get lost or stuck there. I got laid off with the same title and job description after almost 8 years. There's a little bit of the fakey culty vibe going on there, where the C-suite likes to act like they are saving the world. But that's probably typical at a lot of tech companies.

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.
