Think twice if you are at the beginning of your career... - Software Engineer Amplify Employee Review

Pros

- All the praise on work-life balance is true, the catch is your pay will be in the mid to low range of market rate, and you will be working with people who are ok with that. - Standard benefits, 50% match of 401k at the time I left - Generally easy-going people

Cons

- There's a boys club culture going on in the engineering dept, you are either a bro or you are not relevant. The company level DEI conversation doesn't even scratch the surface. - The engineering culture used to be amazing but had a huge decline since the 2015 layoff, by the time I left there's not much to remain: a lot of passionate engineers jumped ship (understandable) and those who stayed barely care - Little guidance and support for career growth, the people managers are not properly trained and evaluated. You are on your own.

Pros

There are some very dedicated, talented and well intentioned people who work there. For awhile it felt like the organization was building and doing great things. The salary felt fairly competitive with the industry standard.

Cons

Don't look too closely under the hood if you don't want to stop believing in the illusion. The product is no longer as strong as it once was, the PD and CS have gone way downhill, they care more about profit than people and they are no longer mission driven but success and money driven. They talk a good game, but many people there are ruthless so watch your back. They do a good job of making you feel like it's the best place to work and you are lucky to be there, for awhile, but when the blook is off the rose, watch out.
