Amplify reviews

* Great people : solid developers, drive to improve quality of work, smart and fun to work with * Location : I live in Brooklyn so Dumbo is an easy bike commute. Actually a large % of people bikes/walks/jogs to work. * Making a difference in education, however small. Very different feeling than working for a financial company for example. There is a lot of focus on education on day to day too, everyone has opportunity to learn through series of brown bags about current trends and struggles in education, common core, etc.. * Lots of different technologies we get to play with on daily basis, not just across teams but within various teams too * movement towards vertical self sufficient teams * great work life balance. Flexible hours, ability to WFH when necessary. Much lower stress level than in a lot of other companies. say in managing your own workload

Amplify is using cutting edge technology to build innovative web- and mobile-based products designed to comprehensively bring the K-12 classroom experience online for teachers and students. Waking up to go to work is simply a different experience when you're excited about your company's mission. That your teammates are just as excited make even the craziest days worthwhile. While we are growing aggressively, we are still at a size where each employee can see their contribution and how it affects the work we do as a company. That's a great feeling. It's widely believed that, when technology for 'a good cause', it probably suffers for lack of funding, or innovation, or creativity. Not so, here. We are an Agile shop, utilizing best practices with a focus on rapid deployment, and we are constantly researching new technologies. Even the brightest and most experienced technologists will find new challenges to work on and new tools to use.
