Pros

The team culture at Amplify is one of its strongest assets. There are many talented individuals who are collaborative, driven, and committed to delivering results. Employees are often given opportunities to take initiative, lead projects, and contribute beyond their core responsibilities, which is good for skill set and not so good for mental fatigue. At performance review time, you’ll be told that these were “pleasure projects”, and they don’t contribute to “going above & beyond.” Gaslight much?

Cons

Frequent changes and shifting priorities can sometimes create confusion and contribute to change fatigue. There are opportunities to improve communication and alignment between teams to reduce handoff delays and ensure a more seamless experience for both employees and customers. Feedback is encouraged, but don’t be fooled. Nepotism is at an all time high here as well. I’ve never worked in such a small team with over 4+ family members on the same team, with one being the direct Executive Director over said team of family members. Definitely don’t loop in HR with any complaints of leadership, mistreatment, or discrimination- you will be walked out the door, but not before lack of investigation of said complaints. Overall a great company, but there needs to be some reevaluation of senior leadership and Executive leadership.

Pros

Consistent schedule with ability to get more hours. Paid for both teaching and lesson planning. Lesson plans were provided and could be adapted. It was fun to work with the same students each semester.

Cons

Teaching online can be challenging with groups of young students

Pros

Amplify has a strong mission-driven culture centered around improving educational outcomes, and there are genuinely talented, thoughtful people across design, curriculum, and engineering. The work can feel meaningful, especially when focused on accessibility and equity, and there are opportunities to influence products used at scale in classrooms. Cross-functional collaboration is not encouraged by upper management, departments are extremely silo'd, but on a peer level team members organize into meaningful action groups themselves. When teams are aligned, the impact and quality of the work can be very high. Flexible schedules and high autonomy. Positive Slack environment.

Cons

Accessibility and compliance efforts are highly inconsistent and very much deprioritized depending on leadership and timelines, which can be frustrating for specialists trying to uphold standards. Communication and decision-making across teams can sometimes lack clarity, leading to misalignment or duplicated effort. There may be structural or cultural gaps in how feedback is received and acted on, particularly when raising concerns about quality or compliance. In some cases, this can create tension for individuals advocating for users, especially when business or delivery pressures take precedence. Upper level management needs lessons in conducting meetings that feel psychologically safe. AI product management lacks governance.
