Pros

The company is doing the most important work in education and education is a compelling way to address hard times and inequality in the country and the world. As a software developer who gets to contribute directly to product design I feel like I am working with some of the most inspiring people I've ever worked with. Was close to perfect when it was Wireless Generation and has kept most of its core as it became Amplify.

Cons

Sometimes having News Corp as a corporate parent is hard to explain to people. But I don't think there is really any interference from the parent company. Amplify is very independent.

Pros

Friendly people, transparency from management, accessible management, ability to change roles within the company

Cons

The Education sector hampers innovative technological advances as sales are driven by RFPs. Sales team makes deals that are unrealistic for dev teams to meet, causing reactive engineering with lots of tight deadlines and stress. The company does not have a vision for its products -- instead, it just tries to check off boxes on RFPs to get sales, and bend over backwards to keep difficult customers.
