Pros

The HR Dept does a great job at making employees feel welcome as a new hire and within an employee's tenure. The HR team is a very solid team.

Cons

Managers and Directors sometimes receive their titles only because they are sucking up to their boss or it's just a lateral move that makes sense for that person's workload and the team structure. The tone on some teams at Amplify is so rigid and creates a tense environment and doesn't allow for creativity (which is needed in depts such as design and marketing for example). The team I was on did a horrible job at developing a cohesive remote team environment. Not everyone on the team, felt like they were a part of an actual team. Most importantly, Amplify should do a better job at providing professional development for managers and leaders within the company. Many senior level managers and directors lack the skills of respect, empathy and understanding needed to be successful at leadership.

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.
