Pros

Fast moving start-up culture, lots of opportunities to travel, lots of other perks (e.g. free snacks and drinks, free LL Bean jackets and bags).

Cons

Chaotic environment at the whim of reacting to launching a viable product that must swim or sink. Employees do not get to share in the creation of the vision or even understand what it truly means for their own roles. Management will tell employees otherwise. However, directives are handed down and employees are expected to race forward with them with no time for thoughtful consideration or discussion. Hard for employees to surface what issues they are having and get them resolved. If you are looking to experience what the early stages of a start-up is like this may be the place for you. Otherwise, experienced professionals looking for real career development and growth should wait until this company matures and has had a chance to establish some structure.

Pros

free soda, coffee, juice, good view of brooklyn bridge, lots of smart people, flexible work schedule.

Cons

Amplify is not what it used to be. It is starting to become very corporate and highly political fast. There are hardly any raises and recognition for hard work, no respect for those going above and beyond their duties unless you are well connected, and you must be able to play the game of politics well or you will end up disappointed and dissatisfied.
