Pros

During this difficult time, I am SO glad I work at AMS. We are going through the same layoffs as every other company, but you can tell there has been a lot of thought and every effort to keep all of the top talent across the globe. There is constant and transparent communication, and a true focus on our well-being. When talking to friends at other companies, I know they are having a VERY different experience, and not in a good way.

Cons

There are always ways AMS can improve, but I'd rather appreciate the effort on this post. Which is greatly apprecaited.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s great to hear our culture and the care we show for our people have made a positive impact. That sense of support and connection across teams is something we work hard to nurture every day. We also recognize that client relationships can be complex at times. Supporting our teams to navigate those environments with confidence and collaboration remains an important focus for us. We appreciate your feedback and your contribution to AMS.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest and thorough feedback. We appreciate your recognition of the flexibility and remote working environment at AMS, and we’re encouraged to hear you continue to see strong talent and potential within the organisation. We’re sorry to hear that your recent experience has not reflected the collaborative and supportive culture we strive to create. We recognise that periods of transformation and evolving ways of working can create pressure for teams, particularly when priorities shift quickly or workloads feel challenging. Creating an environment where colleagues feel supported, listened to, and able to contribute openly is extremely important to us, and we take feedback relating to culture, wellbeing, and leadership seriously. We would encourage you to continue raising your concerns through the appropriate internal channels so they can be heard and constructively addressed. Thank you again for sharing your perspective.
