There USED to be a great tablet division in Manhattan with lots of great employees and an interesting set of products. This division is all but gone in the name of "One Amplify," the initiative to combine all divisions and share technology and practices. It was initially pitched as increased communication and cooperation between divisions. The end result is that the tablet division was dissolved and all of their products were canceled. Almost everyone from that division has left the company over the last few months, those remaining (including myself) were shipped to Brooklyn.
No one here seems to really care about education. Most of the talk from product sounds more like marketing. The state of tech here is dismal. Releases happen once every three months and take two weeks. Our servers are managed by a horribly understaffed remote team. It takes weeks or even months to get something as simple as a testing environment to deploy to. Unsurprisingly, we're still losing people at a hilarious rate. And there's a hiring freeze on.
Disclaimer: I'm just bitter because this was the best job I had ever had, but it only lasted a few months before my division was shut down.
