Pros

When I joined Amplify, it was full of talented people who wanted to make a difference in education. Those people have all left, either voluntarily or through layoffs. The company is seriously financially mismanaged with a truly epic burn rate, and yet is totally disconnected from the day to day operations of staff.

Cons

- A sprawling history of cronyism. - Total disregard for taking care of existing customers. Who cares what they need? They're already locked in with a contract. - Executive bumbling as they jockey for status. - They're lumbering and slow and RFP-oriented, which means nothing you build will take into account user needs or anything else beyond getting a contract signed. - Design is a joke; promoting visual design only leads to a virtually unusable flagship product. They should be ashamed of themselves for foisting something so badly made on thousands of teachers across the country.
