Great autonomy, great people, and a genuinely interesting product
Pros
I’ve been at Learn Amp for around six months and it’s been an extremely positive experience so far. The company gives you a lot of autonomy and flexibility in how you work, which I’ve found both motivating and empowering. The team is full of smart, supportive, and genuinely wonderful people who make collaboration enjoyable. Our all hands days are lots of fun, as are office days, collaborative sessions, socials, etc. The product itself is really interesting, yet the team are constantly innovating and enhancing. There is always something new or improved being worked on. Operationally, there are well-defined processes in place, but also plenty of room to experiment and bring your own ideas to the table. The customers are ambitious and trying to achieve exciting things within Learning & Development, so as someone with a broad background in education and learning, I find this incredibly fascinating and rewarding. I feel very inspired to help them help their people.
Cons
So far I haven't experienced any cons for me, but I appreciate that we're all different and start up style environments aren't for everyone - although Learn Amp is far more mature than a typical start up. Here are some potential cons for others: The product is interesting but not out of the box, so there’s a steep learning curve at first, The customer base is varied and can be challenging, but that also means the work is rewarding and impactful (as both the challenges and the impact is on real people!) The flexibility and autonomy might not suit everyone — it works best for self-starters.
