Enraged that kids prefer KPop to Bollywood. Installed cams in their rooms.
Anyone here has interviewed with audible data team?
A two years experienced Principal. Nice.
Haha obviously there’s some misunderstanding.
Anyways changed the question. Can you tell me how’s audible compared to amazon?
Audible has free food 🥘
Culture is pretty bad in most parts of the organization. Extremely political on a micro and macro level. There are very few brilliant engineers and even fewer brilliant designers there. They do exist but are managed into positions where they cannot influence much without breaking a lot of pseudo-rules. With that said, the data science team is pretty legit and has some very smart individuals who are pushing hard to make things happen. Vesting is also better.
Audible has the same level system as Amazon (at least from what you can tell from the phone tool), so no. L7 is Sr. Manager or Principal level.
Okay and how’s audible compared to amazon in terms of tc, wlb and reputation?
Audible is a solid business and pretty much fully integrated into Amazon’s Books, Kindle, Publishing, etc. So basically working for Audible, is working for Amazon in New Jersey. You get all the Amazon benefits + some extra perks I believe. WLB, I don’t know, but probably good.
