Pros
- collaborative team - everyone is willing to help if you need it - inclusive
Cons
- none that I can think of
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Most of the people I worked with were great! Driven to do their best to help each other, help patients, and advance the field. Everyone working on developing and maintaining product offerings, and bringing new offerings to market brought great ideas to the table!
Cons
Management did not value employees, and due to being unwilling to offer competitive compensation, has not been able to hire and retain good talent. There was constant tension between the bioinformatics team and the IT dev team over code ownership, that impacted the ability of both teams to do the best work they could; bioinformatics leadership pushed back on the need to adopt proper software engineering practices, all the while attempting to adopt new technology stacks needed to implement the solutions C-suite was asking for. Furthermore, I felt that there was little room for career advancement paths that suited me; all of the advancement paths led to management, with no opportunities for advancement as a technical leader.

Cons
There are no cons here
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Working from home as an option is nice
Cons
Do not expect to get promotions or raises, Ambry is know in the industry for their lack of compensation for a vast majority of its employees. Promotions are hard to come by unless your in the right place at the right time, management changes the requirements every 6 months and if you don’t somehow meet this new direction your going nowhere. Management culture has most high level managers not even wanting to associate themselves with their employees, they are arrogant and misleading. Ambry working culture has departments competing with one another instead of helping out and a large number of departments have had or still have adversarial attitudes towards one another. Management lies constantly while blowing hot air up to the company during what they call all hands meetings, really the vast majority of these meetings are listening to the senior management pat themselves on the back and talk about how amazing we are as a company when really we are rotten from the inside. Ambry’s senior leaders want communication to be better as a result of many employee lead surveys sent directly to us but have failed to provide any actual solutions, the all hands meetings they schedule are lack luster to begin with very little substance of actual Needed information and what the company was trying to tell the c suite is they need to come down from their ivory tower and actually talk to people 1 on 1 or department meetings. I could seriously go on longer about all the negative things I have found out about working for these people but I don’t want to ramble anymore so I’ll leave you with take away points. Promotions are scarce Leadership is poor C suite is Arrogant Pay sucks Most of the company competes against itself Communication is a joke

Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Innovative science and deeply caring about patience, and advancing healthcare.
Cons
Sales is the only department that are treated like valued employees. Directors discourage open communication regarding salary (totally legal for us to discuss in california), because they dont want you to know just how much theyre screwing you over. DRASTICALLY different payscales for people doing the same job.

Pros
The company does excellent work and has programs that are original and helpful to difficult-to-treat populations.
Cons
Some of the projects resemble a start-up and are a little wobbly.
Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Stringing workforce on with promises of competitive compensation while asking them to achieve more with less.

All of the pros were forced out or saw the signs and left.
Cons
Failure to recognize their failure to properly pay their talent. When the CEO was asked about it during a town hall, essentially said that there is no concern because everyone is replaceable.
