“Working with the team at Ambient has been a tremendous experience. As you'd expect, they are open and approachable, but on top of that, they are keen to fully understand you as a candidate and what you want in that next role. They don't try to shoehorn you into a role that isn't right for you. I want to mention the parties as well - they are legendary. ”

Values and Principles

We picked these values carefully. They speak to who we are, what we care about, and what we are striving to be.

Take responsibility

We are supposed to be the expert on the hiring journey, so we have to own it – whether it goes right or wrong.

Earn trust

Networks thrive on trust; it’s hard earned, and easily lost.

Seek Improvement

Our willingness to learn is the difference between where we are now, and the potential we have.

Drive Success

Results matter. We are an ambitious lot, and we’re OK with that.

Finally, we’ve got one more guiding principle. It is born from how we want to treat people, and to balance confidence with humility.

respect everyone + back yourself
