Pros

The only good thing is work from home and some great colleauges

Cons

Salary below the market base. Hard work is not appreciated. People were made redundant and the management claims they are "surprised" and that they hadn't known. There were account where they cut 70 % of people, while all the time praising their company as "caring for people". That's a complete lie and the recent redundancy proves that. Good reviews come from bronwnosers.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It is great to hear you appreciate our flexible working arrangements and enjoy working alongside our talented colleagues. That said, it’s extremely disappointing that you don’t feel AMS cares about its people – we are proud of our culture and the importance we place on wellbeing, autonomy, development and inclusivity. We know how hard it has been to say goodbye to colleagues who work on accounts that have seen a softening in client hiring volumes – the reality is this is a tough economic environment for our entire industry, something we strive hard to be transparent about. If you feel comfortable to do so, please reach out to engagement@weareams.com so we can discuss your concerns in more detail. As a current employee at a senior level who likely motivates and inspires others around you, it might be useful to connect so we can talk through the various ways to engage and recognise employees, discuss our fair pay practices and frameworks, and chat about some of the recent communications from our leaders where they reference and speak openly about the current climate we are operating in and its impact.

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.
