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

We're learning from our mistakes and making positive steps forward post-News Corp. Management appears to be more in touch with both the long-term outlook and the day-to-day workings of the company.

Cons

We're still figuring things out on many fronts, so we're not the easiest place to come in and understand how the company works. We're not the fastest company at making decisions, we tend to overanalyze things at times.
