Pros

The mission is commendable and many employees do seem to be passionate about the work that they are trying to do.

Cons

Senior management is very dysfunctional. Turnover is extremely high. Work-life balance is not there. Ben & comp is low compared to other hi-tech companies.

Pros

You can ride your bicycle to work. Conveniently located in DUMBO. Work alongside fairly smart people, especially if you're a software engineer. Enjoy job security in your role due to high turnover rate.

Cons

Wasteful spending in Amplify's Learning division. Plus, the Amplify Learning Division is nowhere near ready to roll out their digital curriculum and that's after tens of millions of dollars spent on R&D and 2.5 years of work...they still have A LONG ROAD AHEAD. High turnover throughout the company over the past year. Also, the company typically pays lower salaries.
