Pros

Great benefits, coworkers and location

Cons

High turnover rate because Amplitude lacks leadership that has empathy. Unfortunately, many managers are hired because of knowing someone and they are hired without solid experience for the role. I had to teach my manager, how to manage me.

Pros

Employees are encouraged to explore AI and automation tools, which creates strong opportunities to build future-relevant skills and experiment with process improvements beyond traditional role boundaries.

Cons

There can be a strong culture around visibility and perception here. In practice, employees often learn that highly visible work tends to carry more weight in performance and compensation discussions than work happening behind the scenes. It creates an environment where people naturally optimize for exposure rather than long-term process improvement. For prospective employees, especially those who prefer impact-driven work over visibility-driven work, It's worth thinking carefully about whether this environment aligns with your working style and career expectations.
