My initial experience with the company did not start off well. I had 2 managers who treated me poorly in Clinical Accessioning, and even told me to "smile while you're at work." My current department/position has been a wonderful experience and the complete opposite of where I started out.

My overall experience within my department has been wonderful. There are communication issues between departments and senior management. And decisions are made that heavily impact a department, without informing that department what was promised or contracted until after finalizing the deal.

It depends on which department you are in that effects how to feel about the company. In my first department, I felt overworked and underappreciated. I felt management did not fight for me. In my current department I feel valued and appreciated by management. I am proud to work for Ambry and say so!

Amazing health plan benefits and compensation packages.

The culture is relaxed and friendly.

They try to engage us regularly.

Interactions with friends and co-workers.

Their openness and full visibility when questions are asked.

My work and how efficiently I am able to perform my duties

The diversity of ethnicities, ages, etc. The fact that everyone is here to help!

Interviews are quite casual and they like to get to know you during the interview.

Leadership team is very down to Earth (within the lab) and never makes you feel belittled.

The diversity and the relaxed culture. You are allowed to be yourself and express your personalities and interests.

Everyone is down to Earth and great to work with. Very little drama and focus is about helping our patients.

Getting my work done and helping my co-workers learn and grow with my leadership. Watching struggling co-workers improve is uplifting.

I enjoy the business of my tasks and getting involved in projects for improvement. I love the people I work with.

Ambry is incredibly diverse and open. There is no discrimination between genders or cultures. Ambry celebrates each month dedicated to diversity to show they care.

Most everyone is friendly and the culture is very relaxed. Everyone is allowed to show their own personalities and not feel they will be ridiculed for their likes/dislikes.

My team is fun and relaxed with each other. We get our work done, but have fun doing it, and we're allowed to have fun while doing it :)

They treat me like a human with skills and a life and they do not act like I am just a "replaceable employee," like previous employers have in my past.

Our department is relaxed and works well with each other. When we see someone struggling, everyone does our best to help out that person so they can thrive. We support each other.

The company is diverse and accepting of all people regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. I never feel endangered or threatened. Everyone is incredibly nice across not just departments, but the management team, as well.

The down-to-Earth casual relationships with the employees. It's uncomfortable to have leaders act stuffy and above the rest of the employees, so having them get down to our level and be able to speak casually is really important for the working environment.

Flexible Time Off was a wonderful implementation. I don't have to worry about capping my hours and being forced to use them when I don't want to! Although I do not take advantage of the perks like ClassPass, I appreciate that things like that are offered.

The ability to dive into my work without interruptions (remote employee) and I can work for several hours without concern of breaking my focus. I love the impact that I make in patients lives by helping to give answers that may not have been there, before.

Wages need to change. Not just within Ambry, but everywhere. If senior leadership can give up their pay for several months during a pandemic in order to pay their employees, to survive the next week, what does that say about the wage gap between senior management and their lower paid empoyees?

This is not just a problem with Ambry Genetics, it is a problem with the US economy all together. Employees are not compensated a livable wage for the areas they live in. People must seek out roommates to afford a small apartment to share, or must have multiple incomes to afford a house.

It is no secret that Ambry Genetics underpays. Typically, when browsing open positions, I will look at the county average salary and assume I will receive 15-20% less at Ambry. I am also a bit disappointed that we must now pay $15 for Club Ren. It is still very cheap, but free membership was nicer.

I am not paid a liveable wage to survive in California. I must rely on my partner's income to live. I feel my department is undervalued by being paid such low wages. If Ambry were to increase our pay by at least $4-5/hour, it would make an immense difference in our ability to live in California.
