Pros
*Industry leader with great product *Many teams with managers stand up for their people, creating an inviting and pleasant work environment *Benefits ok though slightly below similar tech companies
Cons
*If you have the misfortune of joining a team with a manager who fails to stand up for their people nor support them in any meaningful way, you won't succeed and will likely be miserable, in addition to being frequently reprimanded for expectations not previously mentioned *Internal employees openly admit on-boarding does not set one up for success & that feedback was pre-covid (this has not improved or changed in any way post-covid). *The company has made little to no efforts to provide support for the new remote work world aside from providing a fairly average (below average?) stipend for office supplies along with empty promises that they are dedicated to employee mental health & general employee wellness. *Bizarre culture (outside sales team) of competition over collaboration. Failing to offer meaningful advice/assistance to both newbies & those struggling with any aspect of the job. Unresponsive Slacks make it extremely challenging to do one's job well when requiring help/very basic answers from both team members and colleagues on other teams. General attitude of 'not my job' when it comes to helping others. * Managers set on the management style learned years ago and unwilling to change or see the need to improve/grow. A basic skill of a good manager is being able to offer unique management advice/support to individual team members rather than using a blanket approach for everyone on the team, writing off anyone who doesn't work well with their basic corporate approach which fails to consider the diversity of their team/humanity *Managers with 0 familiarity of the team member's daily tasks & demands due to 0 experience performing the role they're judging subordinates on. * A complete lack of empathy/humanity when working with an employee who differs from the norm in any way or requires *any* additional help whatsoever * While still a small to mid-size startup, Amplitude acts as if its a behemoth organization with all the politics and negatives that come with such an environment
