Dear Former Employee, Thank you for taking your time to share your insights about the working environment at Ambrosys. Constructive feedback, even when it highlights areas for improvement, is crucial for our ongoing growth and success. We would like to assure you that we take your concerns seriously, and we are committed to addressing the issues you raised. Your perspectives on poor management decisions, high-pressure morale, lack of effective communication, and compromised work-life balance are valuable to us, and we are actively working to create a positive change. Thank you for the kind words about development and career advancement opportunities we offer. As we consider our employees our greatest asset, we continue to offer each employee a specific amount of working time and budget annually to allocate for their own personal development. To specifically address the management decisions, we are conducting a comprehensive review of our decision-making processes. We understand the importance of transparency and fairness, and we are dedicated to making improvements that ensure better outcomes for everyone involved. Regarding work-life balance concerns, we are constantly revisiting our expectations and workload distribution. Our goal is to foster a work environment that encourages productivity while prioritizing the well-being of our team members. Apart from flexible working arrangements (core working time), to enable our employees to spend more time with their family/friends, we offer up to twice a year, up-to two-week mobile work without weekly office attendance day. Effective communication is fundamental to a healthy workplace, and we recognize that there is room for improvement in this area. We are currently working on new measures to enhance communication quality, including regular team meetings, feedback sessions, and open/anonymous forums for employees to express their thoughts and concerns. Creating an environment where every employee feels heard and valued is a top priority for us. Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We encourage you to consider reaching out to us personally if you feel comfortable doing so. We value your input, are committed to maintaining open lines of communication and are open to further discuss your concerns in person. The points you have made from your perspective are taken seriously by us! We are sad that you couldn't have experienced the positive changes we have recently introduced. Best of luck!

Pros

After working in several startups in Berlin where performance and growth was prioritized over employee health and wellbeing, joining Ambrosys was a breath of fresh air. The team here genuinely loves what they do, and they bring that passion and positivity to work with them every day. Everyone gets along well, and team events are always fun with this group. My favorite aspect of working here is that you have the freedom to impact the company or make changes as you see fit. Nothing is covered in red tape or set in stone, and the leadership is always very open to new ideas. I love being in a small company where the hierarchies are flat and the CEO/CTO don't ever talk down to you. Even the smallest contributors can make a huge impact here, and the projects we work on are both interesting and meaningful. The team is very diverse and international as well, which is a huge bonus.

Cons

Located in Potsdam, which is a benefit for the locals here (myself included) but I can understand how the commute might be long for the employees living in Berlin.
