Amount Reviews

Almost everything else. Constant reorgs. And despite the frequency, leadership still has no idea how to reorg teams. At best, your manager will tell you leadership is reorg-ing, and you're being moved to another team, and he doesn't have many details on the plan (if there is one). Amount seems to view employees as tools, not humans. Pay is meh. They understandably cut pay because of covid, but they seem to be using it as an opportunity to keep pay lower. In addition, people are given titles and more responsibility without compensation, or without a plan on evaluating comp adjustment. They justify by saying things like, "This other person has been acting as a manger for years without comp." Leadership is 99% the same as avant. Very boy club bro feel. Reviews for Avant are still very relevant. CTO is an angry boy, sends email shaming all of tech for not working hard enough, ending with "Do more." While his intention might have been to motivate, he approached motivation in the worst way possible. Culture is just sad. very political an untrustworthy.

Back when I joined in 2020, I was surrounded by extremely smart folks. Many of them left to join other organizations or were let go. Entire teams let go after being constantly lied to about profitability. The old group that is around still is mostly just HR and other admin departments and it seems like they have forgotten how to their job. You will not get any support from them. Even if you complain against your manager for rude behavior, nothing will be done, except for maybe a slap on the wrist. All the tech -- which is horrible -- is Linear's. Cannot say enough bad things about their platform. I feel really bad for clients that are getting duped into it. It's a joke. Middle management has no real skill except for being friends with people on the top. Don't believe me? If you get a chance, just look at them fawning over Adam when they clearly know he has no idea what he's up to. It feels funny. You can tell there's a whole different level of sycophancy in Zoom meetings/presentations even when the content and messaging is crap and changes in weeks. Props to the leadership for cultivating that respect for people who have no direction. If you heard of good things about Amount, it was true once upon a time, but constant reorgs, promotions of just a select few and acquiring the wrong company has really set it back. If you are looking for a tech career here, please reconsider. Unless you're getting paid $200k for a Product/tech role for 4-5 years of experience, I would not recommend this place.
