Pros

Remote work allows you to apply and interview with other companies while you plot & plan your exit.

Cons

The organization feels unstructured and difficult to navigate. Expectations are often unclear, and processes lack consistency, which creates unnecessary chaos and inefficiency. Onboarding is two 30-minute HR calls leaves new hires without the context, tools, or clarity needed to be successful early on. Many roles appear to be “firefighter” or fix-it hires, with ambiguous scopes, unrealistic timelines, and a work culture that normalizes overwork. Success tends to rely heavily on institutional knowledge, meaning individuals with several years at the company are best positioned to thrive, while newer employees face a steep and unsupported learning curve. Leadership appears highly political, with limited demonstrated experience or success outside of navigating internal dynamics. This contributes to misaligned priorities and reactive decision-making.

Pros

Amplify has a genuinely meaningful mission and attracts thoughtful, committed people who care about the work. There are opportunities to contribute to high-impact, visible projects, particularly at the intersection of learning, performance, and organizational development. The company is collaborative. Overall, people are friendly and care about you and the mission. There is real openness to new ideas. In the People and Talent space, you can build and ship meaningful work, often with direct exposure to senior leadership. If you are proactive and comfortable operating in ambiguity, you can gain a wide range of experience quickly.

Cons

There's some structural inconsistency, but I believe this has come to an end in the People and Talent functions. Previous, frequent changes in management and shifting priorities have made it difficult to maintain continuity and build long-term programs. Decision-making can be slow or diffuse at times, I think ultimately, these are the symptoms of a growing company, with its heart in the right place, that is facing headwinds in the edtech space. Compensation and career progression may not always keep pace with the level of responsibility expected, especially for experienced individual contributors. But of course, when surveyed, nobody ever says 'they're paid too much to do not enough'. There have been genuine efforts to better align comp to market ranges. And to upskill managers to better coach their teams for future opportunities.
