Pros

Free drinks and once a week breakfast. Office is inviting, room with wii and games, great for breaks!

Cons

There are many silos going on in this company specially at Amplify Insight. HR tries to pull many shady things, this is just one. Disregarding the complaints I brought up to HR during my two years there, (all documented) I finally resigned. I had an excellent performance review the first year and a good one the next year. I knew of a person in my team who was put in a performance plan, so it seems there is some sort of process followed there when performance is an issue. Two days after my resignation, my manager at the time schedules a catch up meeting, where he smiled and said to me he didn't need me anymore. Guess he had forgotten my resignation sent to the head of HR and him via email? Or me letting him know in person? I was taken to HR, and she wanted me to sign a letter with the words “Voluntarily Terminated". I told her to send to me via email, as I have never had to sign anything when I have resigned. I was escorted out. Two days later, HR sends a page with the words "Voluntarily Resigned" on it and the HR claims it never said “Termination" on it. Afters speaking to a lawyer, a company in the state of NY has "fire at will" policy, and this is one example of how they could exercise this policy. Even though I had resigned, even though my performance could not be questioned, they couldn't put me in a performance plan. But to try to make me sign a "Termination" paper? Then take two days to change the word "Termination" into Resignation and try to deny the fact that you tried to fire me? Work here at your own risk. Keep in mind Murdoch. Good luck.

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.
