Pros
- Amplify offers a decent starting salary as it has the financial backing of NewsCorp (don't expect a raise though). - There are still some people there that really care about doing quality work.
Cons
- No room for career growth (rampant cronyism, value in previous title - not ability). - Refers to itself internally as a startup without a hint of irony (Amplify is a business unit of NewsCorp) which leads to long hours without an equity package or a constructive, open culture. - Serious culture issues -- saying that you have a startup culture doesn't make it so. - Schizophrenic priorities as the company only seems to think one month out and doesn't value learning from mistakes. - So. many. meetings. - Negative feedback, even presented constructively, makes you a target. - High turnover and difficulty retaining qualified people (see above points).
