Ambry Genetics Reviews

Pros

Company culture, passion for patient care, innovators in the market, underdog mentality.

Cons

As with many companies, communication is not always seamless. The industry has changed dramatically in the last few years and the company has been more reactive than proactive.

Advice to Management

Continue to make strides to improve processes, support employee development, and strike a balance between an organized corporate culture and the laid back mentality many Ambryites have grown to love. The plans laid since the acquisition are positive and strategic, but don't come to fruition overnight. Keep providing transparent status updates to the employees.

Pros

Good, hardworking and fun people in my team.

Cons

Horrible HR and mid management. No career advancement and favoritism which is so obvious to everyone.

Advice to Management

If it was up to me, I would replace a few of you.

Pros

Good crew to work with

Cons

Unorganized at times, lots of paperwork

None that i have ID yet

Advice to Management

Keep focusing on a few goals every year and this will continue to be an exciting place to work

Pros

Nothing better than knowing you are selling the best quality tests available. Very rewarding. Commercial team is one of the best I’ve been a part of. Leadership holds others accountable and both east and west Oncology heads are fantastic. Knowing you work for a team and company that the competition drools over and spends all their time trying to recruit is flattering. The history of the company is impressive....

Cons

Konica Minolta has not helped too much as most thought when bought company. Territories still big for most reps and not enough promotions from within. Some leadership friction evident. COO who oversees billing Need to update software systems to stay competitive.

Advice to Management

Make sure Konica invests in the company to grow. Frustrating to see the competiton going after it and us being owned by a huge company acting like we need to save money. We cannot always rely on having the next big innovation to grow. Still some departments in my experience could use some refreshing of leadership

Pros

My Co-workers are generally good people. We as a company are on the cutting edge of Genetic Testing. We have a skilled human resources team who does a good job. There is a smoothie bar/cafe that is delicious and free to employees.

Cons

There are some employees who do nothing on a daily basis and there is no one actually managing these employees to correct their bad behavior. It is obvious to everyone and really is discouraging to see these people contribute nothing yet still reap all the same perks and benefits as those who work hard. Company Morale is at an all time low. Employees are quitting and going to our competiton at a shocking rate. As...

Advice to Management

Manage! For many of your employees, Ambry is their first real job. It should be a priority to get these people trained right and let them know the real expectations. Many of my Millenial Co-Workers need some guidance and direction in addition to daily tasks.

Pros

Hands down the best hereditary cancer test on the market. You are selling a product you can truly stand behind.

Cons

Company is proud of their long history but needs to be nimble enough to change with the times. Management in sales the past two years was beyond horrible. Even worse after the Counsyl guys took over. No wonder everyone is moving to a certain competitor. Also, extremely rare for Ambry to promote within. They always bring in outside people to fill management positions. HR or "people team" is down right horrible and...

Advice to Management

Stop lying to your reps and start promoting within. Clean out management! Only a few good people there (LPS)

Pros

Good benefits and nice employees

Cons

Communication and training are horrible.
