Pros

Good pay. Work from home.

Cons

HR will not help the little people. The CEO does not run the company in its entirety. Final say is with a small group of people, Emerson Collective, employees will never meet but they control their fate. Relationships you make here don't matter. People will drop you immediately when leadership turns their back on you. Bunch of cliques that work with and against each other. A very few people make decisions here. Even fewer educated ones. If you just nod and say yes and have no other skills you'll be set!

Prioritizes bottom line over people and mission

Pros

Compensates well, work life balance is good

Cons

Hire and fire culture. They aren’t genuine about serving students and teachers. It’s hard to care about putting in 100% effort when I’m just a cog in the corporate machine.

We were promised "ONE AMPLIFY" months ago. What happened?

Pros

The lights are still on and the elevators only try to kill you every couple months.

Cons

The continued inability of the executive leadership of this company to behave like leaders is frankly shocking. The only possible reason for this gridlock is that NewsCorp has NO idea what they're doing... or maybe they're taking their toys and going home. We were told there would be (yet another) consolidation/re-organization MONTHS ago and since then virtually NOTHING has been communicated, other than that a division CTO was promoted to Amplify CTO and Chris Cerf (CEO of Amplify Insight) was leaving the org. In the absence of direction, budgets for the upcoming fiscal year are mysteries, planning is at a complete standstill, and recruiting feels like an incredibly dishonest act. Hundreds of people trudge to work in DUMBO every day feeling like there's nothing good left about this company or their jobs. The level of discontent in the office is unreal. It's impossible to respect the people in C-level positions. Many have been serially unsuccessful for years, literally, and yet retain their jobs. They have no accountability. I am heartbroken to have invested years here, heartbroken for my team, and deeply concerned that having Amplify prominently on my resume will actively harm my future prospects.
