Ambry Genetics Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Ambry Genetics full-time

Pros – Ambry Genetics has been an amazing place to work, as a whole the company is a very warm and friendly place. All the employees are passionate about the work that they do here. The patient is always the most important thing here. It's the kind of place where people actually care about the work they do rather than just punching a clock. Ambry feels more like a family than a company. I love this place.

Cons – The pay could be a little better. But the bottom line is i would rather work for Ambry Genetics than another company even if the pay were better. This is the kind of place where everyone contributes to the company, and comes together in a way that i have never seen before at any other company i have worked for.

Advice to Senior Management – A few more holidays off would be nice, but thats about it.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Pros – Type of work, really cool people, location is awesome, vibe is UP, laid back culture, respectable people, and respectable job. Doing something worthwhile, not just punching a clock. Like my work hours, like my boss and like my co-workers. Like knowing we are doing something new or in half the time it used to be done. Feel like this place is going to be around a long time.

Cons – Hoping to make more money in the next year

Advice to Senior Management – Let's not go through any lay-offs tthe rest of the year. Looks like we're on the right track.

Current Employee – been working at Ambry Genetics full-time

Pros – Best company I've had the opportunity to work for. Creative, Entrepreneurial work environment. Company provides you all the tools and resources you need to get work accomplished. Great employee's + enjoyable work environment + enjoying what I do & what company stands for = me putting in many more hours than I realize, as do most who work here

Cons – slightly below average payscale. I suppose it's a trade off for working for a great company you enjoy working for.

Advice to Senior Management – continue to focus on quality science and launching of new nextgen panels, while also continuing to improve on TAT's and communication as well.
