Pros

It's fun to be a software engineer at Amplify – it feels good to make things for teachers and students. The company has been growing fast, which has created lots of opportunities for promotion or switching to new teams.

Cons

The fast growth means there's a lot of churn on plans – who is building what? Teams have a lot of independence, which is great, but means we don't know what is happening on other teams.

Pros

- All the praise on work-life balance is true, the catch is your pay will be in the mid to low range of market rate, and you will be working with people who are ok with that. - Standard benefits, 50% match of 401k at the time I left - Generally easy-going people

Cons

- There's a boys club culture going on in the engineering dept, you are either a bro or you are not relevant. The company level DEI conversation doesn't even scratch the surface. - The engineering culture used to be amazing but had a huge decline since the 2015 layoff, by the time I left there's not much to remain: a lot of passionate engineers jumped ship (understandable) and those who stayed barely care - Little guidance and support for career growth, the people managers are not properly trained and evaluated. You are on your own.
