Pros

Not many, Wireless Generation days were better from what I was told, some good people still around, some good talent also around....

Cons

Very many...no communication, CYA galore, everyone is 'smarter' than you are, management team is always in flux, C-Level staff are involved in mundane, day to day not with the business end of things, $ is scarce and surrounding talent is leaving...

We were promised "ONE AMPLIFY" months ago. What happened?

Pros

The lights are still on and the elevators only try to kill you every couple months.

Cons

The continued inability of the executive leadership of this company to behave like leaders is frankly shocking. The only possible reason for this gridlock is that NewsCorp has NO idea what they're doing... or maybe they're taking their toys and going home. We were told there would be (yet another) consolidation/re-organization MONTHS ago and since then virtually NOTHING has been communicated, other than that a division CTO was promoted to Amplify CTO and Chris Cerf (CEO of Amplify Insight) was leaving the org. In the absence of direction, budgets for the upcoming fiscal year are mysteries, planning is at a complete standstill, and recruiting feels like an incredibly dishonest act. Hundreds of people trudge to work in DUMBO every day feeling like there's nothing good left about this company or their jobs. The level of discontent in the office is unreal. It's impossible to respect the people in C-level positions. Many have been serially unsuccessful for years, literally, and yet retain their jobs. They have no accountability. I am heartbroken to have invested years here, heartbroken for my team, and deeply concerned that having Amplify prominently on my resume will actively harm my future prospects.

Pros

Thoughtful, bright, committed people at all levels of the company is what drew me to Amplify. The company is committed to reshaping education, supporting teachers, and finding ways to leverage technology in the classroom. There has been a renewed focus on company culture in the last year and many positive changes in the office.

Cons

Some teams seem to lack focus and direction, though with changes in the company's tech and product leadership, hopefully this will be addressed. There's better coordination among different teams and divisions than before, but still much room for improvement.
