Pros

Amplify used to hire smart engineers who cared about education. Pay was originally low, but they fixed that. The location is nice.

Cons

At the rate "One Amplify" is going, it will soon be "no amplify". Senior leadership lied to us about the timeline and purpose of the reorg. Rumors became the primary source of news, since management communicated nothing. An entire division was gutted; the technical head of this division was promoted to CTO of the company. Officially this was to push their process on the rest of the company, but there's no one left to champion that process. Projects in the rest of the company are being shut down at a startling rate, and people everywhere are fleeing before the ship goes down. Their positions are not being backfilled. Among all of the people issues, the inconsistent wifi that prevents work from being done is just the icing on the cake.

Pros

There are some very dedicated, talented and well intentioned people who work there. For awhile it felt like the organization was building and doing great things. The salary felt fairly competitive with the industry standard.

Cons

Don't look too closely under the hood if you don't want to stop believing in the illusion. The product is no longer as strong as it once was, the PD and CS have gone way downhill, they care more about profit than people and they are no longer mission driven but success and money driven. They talk a good game, but many people there are ruthless so watch your back. They do a good job of making you feel like it's the best place to work and you are lucky to be there, for awhile, but when the blook is off the rose, watch out.
