Pros

I worked in Amplify since 2012 and I can make comparison between how things are done in that year and the following few years with how things are done in late 2016 and this year. Then, the Atlanta office alone had over 120 employees. We had so many teams and each teams striving to be agile were working on different features and parts of the system designing and building the application as they please. There was no components ownership and no guidelines controlled by architects or product owners! This resulted in the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. There were conflicting behaviors and bad decisions caused us a lot to correct. But now the whole Atlanta office is 10 developers and 5 Support. I believe we are doing much better with much smaller team.

Cons

I should say that with the amount of responsibilities per person and the expected increase of our customers base around August, it will be like work with no end. Amplify should be hiring to bring more hands on deck.

Pros

Amplify works very hard to create a culture that is inclusive. They value your opinion, listen and are truthful and sincere in assisting you with making the workplace enjoyable. I love the cold brew coffee, Waffle Wednesdays, Talent nights, Unlimited PTO and Company Picnics. We are a family and that is an amazing feeling! Amplify treats you like an actual adult and expect you to be accountable to yourself and the work you do. They trust that if you have a task or project that you will get it done in addition to offering assistance if you need it. They also consider the remote employees and we regularly have discussions with them and what their concerns and needs are. Inclusive 100%. We have regular town hall meetings where Amplify invite others in our field to discuss education & technology. The guest tell their story, offer advice and suggestions on how to continuously be better. We also have Vice and Carrot media in our building which is awesome for brunch bragging! I've had conversations with Spike Lee in the lobby, he has offices in our building also. We work in the best part of Brooklyn! Close to the water, parks and tons of food choices. When the weather is nice I go the to water with coworkers or under the bridge for the best grill cheese sandwiches from the food truck at the Dumbo lot. The company also supports our outside interest as well. Larry Berger the CEO invited us to the Whitney for a poetry reading he was a part of. Bill, our Director of System Engineering invites us to hear his band play at various events throughout the year and they also asked me to make gift bags for our annual sales meeting. (I make natural body products). We are a supportive group! Loyalty means a lot they expect it and they also give it.

Cons

I can't walk to work.
