Amplify reviews

- No room for career growth (rampant cronyism, value in previous title - not ability). - Refers to itself internally as a startup without a hint of irony (Amplify is a business unit of NewsCorp) which leads to long hours without an equity package or a constructive, open culture. - Serious culture issues -- saying that you have a startup culture doesn't make it so. - Schizophrenic priorities as the company only seems to think one month out and doesn't value learning from mistakes. - So. many. meetings. - Negative feedback, even presented constructively, makes you a target. - High turnover and difficulty retaining qualified people (see above points).

Middle management is ineffective, rarely proactive, and often negligent of their role in helping those they manage do their job; no career path, and in fact, you feel pigeon-holed. Employees left to figure things out for themselves. Upper management seems very sharp and attuned to making goals clear, but their middle management does not know how to support and get the most out of their teams. The most skilled seem to be those in HR. They hire the right people and continue to support them, but the day-to-day management by project managers is poor.
