Pros

Amplify works very hard to create a culture that is inclusive. They value your opinion, listen and are truthful and sincere in assisting you with making the workplace enjoyable. I love the cold brew coffee, Waffle Wednesdays, Talent nights, Unlimited PTO and Company Picnics. We are a family and that is an amazing feeling! Amplify treats you like an actual adult and expect you to be accountable to yourself and the work you do. They trust that if you have a task or project that you will get it done in addition to offering assistance if you need it. They also consider the remote employees and we regularly have discussions with them and what their concerns and needs are. Inclusive 100%. We have regular town hall meetings where Amplify invite others in our field to discuss education & technology. The guest tell their story, offer advice and suggestions on how to continuously be better. We also have Vice and Carrot media in our building which is awesome for brunch bragging! I've had conversations with Spike Lee in the lobby, he has offices in our building also. We work in the best part of Brooklyn! Close to the water, parks and tons of food choices. When the weather is nice I go the to water with coworkers or under the bridge for the best grill cheese sandwiches from the food truck at the Dumbo lot. The company also supports our outside interest as well. Larry Berger the CEO invited us to the Whitney for a poetry reading he was a part of. Bill, our Director of System Engineering invites us to hear his band play at various events throughout the year and they also asked me to make gift bags for our annual sales meeting. (I make natural body products). We are a supportive group! Loyalty means a lot they expect it and they also give it.

Cons

I can't walk to work.

Pros

Amplify has a strong mission-driven culture centered around improving educational outcomes, and there are genuinely talented, thoughtful people across design, curriculum, and engineering. The work can feel meaningful, especially when focused on accessibility and equity, and there are opportunities to influence products used at scale in classrooms. Cross-functional collaboration is not encouraged by upper management, departments are extremely silo'd, but on a peer level team members organize into meaningful action groups themselves. When teams are aligned, the impact and quality of the work can be very high. Flexible schedules and high autonomy. Positive Slack environment.

Cons

Accessibility and compliance efforts are highly inconsistent and very much deprioritized depending on leadership and timelines, which can be frustrating for specialists trying to uphold standards. Communication and decision-making across teams can sometimes lack clarity, leading to misalignment or duplicated effort. There may be structural or cultural gaps in how feedback is received and acted on, particularly when raising concerns about quality or compliance. In some cases, this can create tension for individuals advocating for users, especially when business or delivery pressures take precedence. Upper level management needs lessons in conducting meetings that feel psychologically safe. AI product management lacks governance.
