Pros

Benefits were amazing! The amount of PTO is awesome. Moving to other clients is dependent on their needs but, good if you are lucky to be in the right time of year.

Cons

Absolutely NO Training whatsoever...ZERO training at start. Don't expect any Manager Engagement and you should have RPO experience before you start. I did not and NEVER had a performance, compensation or bonus conversation in the 3 years I worked there. Every client requires a high req load (average of 40 reqs). Managers are kept so busy, they never have time to discuss your goals, compensation, career path, etc...

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.
