Pros

The company is doing the most important work in education and education is a compelling way to address hard times and inequality in the country and the world. As a software developer who gets to contribute directly to product design I feel like I am working with some of the most inspiring people I've ever worked with. Was close to perfect when it was Wireless Generation and has kept most of its core as it became Amplify.

Cons

Sometimes having News Corp as a corporate parent is hard to explain to people. But I don't think there is really any interference from the parent company. Amplify is very independent.

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.
