Pros
Amplitude was founded by 2 incredibly smart and talented men, currently CEO and CTO. They're thoughtful, curious, and care deeply about both their customers and employees. The product is best-in-class and will delight pretty much all prospects and customers. The product and engineering org is also super impressive, with features being shipped at an unbelievable speed. This is a testament to both the talent and work ethic in the product and engineering organisation.
Cons
The larger Go-to-market team which encompasses sales, marketing and account management is less solid, with a weak to borderline non existent strategy. Whilst there are many talented people who work in these functions, the impact of poor leadership is extremely visible. Every company sings about how great the culture is, and sadly some companies think free lunches, free beer and yoga classes make a great working environment. This is far from true. As another review mentioned, the culture here is nowhere near as transparent as is emphasized, nor is it as positive and supportive. Prepare to work within a blame culture when things aren't going so great, which may be the case in GTM due to a lack of coherent strategy and tactics. Culture is all well and good when things are going up and to the right, but what about when there’s a roadbump, sales are struggling to hit their number etc - - does the team rally together or is it a toxic environment causing undue stress and anxiety?
