Pros

The company allows you to work from anywhere and provides a certain level of flexibility.

Cons

After I was terminated, I submitted my final invoice, but it was never paid. It has now been several months, and despite multiple follow-ups, the company has stopped responding to my emails. My advice to anyone leaving the company is: do not sign a termination agreement until you have received all outstanding payments owed to you. The company conducts background checks to see whether candidates have taken legal action against previous employers. Based on my experience, I now better understand why this appears to be part of their hiring process. In addition, the company monitored my social media accounts and pressured me to change my online presence to align with their expectations, despite my status as an independent contractor. Overall, my experience was unprofessional and disappointing, particularly due to the lack of communication and the failure to pay for completed work.

Pros

Ambush is easily one of the best places I’ve worked as a UI/UX designer. The clients we get to work with are pretty big, well known companies doing really interesting things. It’s wild to me that I get to be part of some of the projects impacting millions of people. Just recently, I worked on a huge product launch for a company that's well known, and the fact that opportunities like that happen regularly here is pretty amazing.

Cons

It’s definitely a fast-paced environment. Things move quickly, and you have to be comfortable jumping into complex projects with high expectations. It can be challenging at times, but if you’re someone who likes working on big, meaningful projects and learning a ton along the way, Ambush is a great place to be.
