Too many cooks in the kitchen...

Pros

Amazing coworker who are passionate. Amazing vision for changing education.

Cons

Management (too many "decision makers" with competing egos and interests). Moral. Lack of transparency. Lack of roadmap. Inability to truly advocate for their vision and help change the market, instead allowing a status quo market to exert pressure on them.

Amplify has lost its groove

Pros

Digital Education is a great market to be in. There are some good folks here, and the teams mostly work well together.

Cons

Management is remote. They sit in NY, but actually they are on a different planet. They fly down once in a while to re-organize everything, and then forget to follow-up and follow through. The most unlikely people are promoted into decision making positions. It's hard to know in which direction the company is going, because information is not shared.

No opportunity for advancement

Pros

Highly creative, interesting work on the cutting edge of educational technology.

Cons

There are people who keep getting new roles/titles/promotions, typically at the top level of management, and then there are the expendable worker bees. There is no in-between and zero effort to develop skills or promote people from within. Morale is terrible because no worker bee ever gets acknowledged.
