OK job

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)
Dallas, TX

I worked at Ambit Energy full-time for more than a year

ProsSome great people, overall commitment and enthusiasm. Not mega-corporate.

ConsA bit clique-ish. Layoffs are common and seemingly random. Some politics.

Advice to Senior ManagementSeems like people lower on the corporate ladder don't have much of a voice.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Good Pay, Bad Work-Life Balance

Software Engineer (Former Employee)
Dallas, TX

I worked at Ambit Energy

ProsSalary is higher than average.
Good scope for career advancement
Startup environment, hands-on access to IT projects.

ConsWork-Life Balance is really bad. Be prepared to slog extra hours on all weekdays and also some weekends. If you are a working mom it is really difficult to leave office early before 5 pm.
Work from home option is provided but on a very limited basis to select employess only.

Advice to Senior ManagementEmployee retention will be higher with better work-life balance esp. for working parents.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
