发帖数: 48 | 2 Audible做audiobook的公司，亚麻的全资子公司， 在NJ Rutgers Business School的
楼上。
公司08年被亚麻收购后一直扩张的很快，从当初一层楼办公室发展到现在的三层，还在
Boston和Seattle开了分店，今年要扩张到第四层楼。公司前景个人感觉是很不错的。
Audible在亚麻所有business分支里是表现靠前的。
因为公司业务的扩张，今年要招很多领域的，各种level的engineer，包括SDE, SDET和
Data Engineer。语言以java为主。
这些职位大部分都是Audible总部的，但我们的Boston office有一个SDET opening。
关于待遇，base是业界中等水平，但是奖金很多，据说比亚麻西雅图总部多不少。作为
子公司，Audible的福利是亚麻的超集。
如果你感兴趣可以把简历发给我:
r*******[email protected]
我可以帮你转交给HM。
哦，关于绿卡，公司政策是入职一年后开始办。 |

发帖数: 48 | 3 刚帮各位转发完简历，非常感谢版上同学对本公司的兴趣。抱歉我没能一一回复，不过
如果你过了HM的简历关，recruiter应该会联系你。
针对一些常见问题，这里说一下：
Q: 有没有intern openning?
A: Audible只招full time
Q: 你在Audible工作吗？
A: 是滴
Q: 我人在中国，可以申请Audible的职位吗？
A: 理论上可以，不过基本没戏，除非你现在在亚麻中国分店工作。
大家还有什么问题我尽量回复。 |

人那本playbook是一个蛮好的例子，就是简洁但不简单，给四分卫很多发挥的空间，球
员又不至于迷糊，要知道搞UI的人有句话就是＂不要给用户犯错的机会＂
如果我是OC，发现有脑筋不灵光的OL，我大概不会选择audible里需要记忆太多的东西
，一个WR出错就还算了，一个OL出错QB可就要报销了，４９人这个系统真是不太容易出
错的其实，我自己觉得就是没有很多reverse,一般audible就是以重复报+取消为主（但

audiobook provider Audible to expand its reach in digital audio content.
Amazon expects the deal, valued at about $300 million, will help bring to a
broader audience Audible.com's more than 80,000 programs, which include
audiobooks and spoken-word audio content from news outlets such as The New

Classical Ghosts, Audible Once Again

"...According to Marston, the cylinders contain the earliest existing
recordings of works by Bach, Wagner, Verdi, Chopin, Schumann and others. The
performers include several noted composer-pianists: Sergei Taneyev, a pupil
of Tchaikovsky’s who played the premiere of his Second Concerto; Anton

咱们纸上谈兵的中年WSN们, 没有身材也没有臂力去打NFL，

嘿嘿, 这里说两个Eli和Brady常使用的排兵布阵法,
周日下午大家看球的时候可能会提高欣赏性.
攻方排好阵型, 如果QB走上来, 喊"Hut Hut!!"就直接开球,
那就是最简单的了, 但这不多见.
一般会跟着有下面两个显著的特点.

Eli经常, Brady有些时候,
会指着对方一个球员大叫"# xx is the MIKE! # xx is the MIKE!!"
但有时候你会看到那个球员已经明显不是middle linebacker,
(或者不是4-3防守, 根本没有MIKE这个位置)
他已经移到SAM or WILL的位置上, 或者已经压上第一线了.
但他仍然被对方两毛五指定为MIKE.
OL有五个人, 在正常情况下防守会有四个杀过来冲击QB,
(4 DLs in a 4-3, or 3 DLs + 1 LB in a 3-4).
QB喊一句谁谁谁是MIKE, 是指出他认为最有可能作为额外的那个冲击者,
