Pros
Highly Competent Team Colleagues are nice Reasonable equipment Amazing Products Actually good pay In theory actually really good coding conventions.
Cons
Unorganized, goals keep shifting and are not communicated. No real onboarding for new people (typically one week and then people need to be “productive”) No time for new people to acclimate to the environment Dr. able has a horrible tendency to micro manage. This is especially true for the time management, when I described it to a friend he called it “Stasilike”. Almost unbearably harsh language which is somehow mistaken for a flat hierarchy. According to practitioners of scrum or agile in general, the way it’s employed at ambrosys is not really scrum. For example sprints are often interrupted by other tasks. Worker drone mentality, I.e. issue after issue after issue almost no real creativity. Many newcomers are constantly under pressure and thus on edge. Errors by new people are almost not tolerated but older employees have a lot of leeway. Often unrealistic goals for newcomers for example when getting certificates (1 month certificates are often times expected to be finished after a week). The term ceo really does not apply here since it invokes the image of the head of the exec board. Changes in plans are often not communicated. Any pressure the management feels immediately passed down to the employees. Things are often taken personally or at least that was my impression. Worst, one is constantly reminded of the economical factor, at least I felt less treated like a person and more like an economical factor.
