Pros

My team was the only genuinely positive aspect of working here — supportive, collaborative, and professional. However, even within the team, the shift in leadership and company direction was impossible to ignore. Over time, it became clear how employees went from being treated as valued contributors to being seen as mere numbers, driven by cost-cutting and short-term priorities rather than people or long-term vision.

Cons

The company has taken a clear turn for the worse due to changes in leadership and strategic direction. What used to feel like a stable, people-focused organization has become a cost-cutting machine driven by fear, short-term financial goals, and preparation for a potential sale.

Thank you for being open about your experience. It’s encouraging to hear how much your team meant to you, and difficult to read how changes in leadership and direction affected your sense of stability and value. Periods of change can create real uncertainty, and perspectives like yours help inform where we need to do better. If you’re open to continuing the conversation, we’d welcome it at colleague.feedback@weareams.com

Pros

Flexible and remote working Great company but with the right leadership

Cons

Since the leadership change last year, the culture within AMS has deteriorated significantly. The new CDTO’s approach has created an environment that feels increasingly toxic and unsustainable for many employees. There is a strong sense that every problem is expected to be solved—or sidelined—by AI, often without realistic planning, sufficient resources, or input from the teams actually responsible for execution. This has led to confusion, constant shifting priorities, and a lack of meaningful support for getting work done effectively. At the same time, workloads have increased to an unsustainable level. Expectations continue to rise, but without additional resources or clear prioritization. Many teams are stretched thin, juggling multiple high-pressure initiatives with tight deadlines, which only adds to the stress and makes it difficult to maintain quality or balance. More concerning is the leadership style. Communication often feels driven by pressure and fear rather than clarity or collaboration. Many employees feel they are operating under constant scrutiny, which has contributed to widespread stress, anxiety, and low morale across the department. It’s becoming common to hear colleagues express reluctance to come into work, not because of the workload itself, but because of the atmosphere.
