AAMC reviews

A typical very badly managed organization. - A lot of work is outsourced to India - Too many middle managers like three managers to one employee - Management does whole lot of nothing - Very bureaucratic management - Business culture at its worst - Innovation does not exist - Work equipment is 10+ years old - Unfriendly staff - people don't talk unless they have business purpose - Too many executives doing nothing Ideal job for someone who just wants a job and not looking for career growth. AAMC hires a lot of contractors and consulting companies. It is the norm to get yelled at if you are a contractor or third party consulting company at AAMC. People can hear the yelling across the hall ways. Human resource is all eyes and ears closed about this kind of stuff at AAMC. Think twice if you are leaving for a consulting opportunity here. A lot of senior managers make decisions at AAMC and typically you never interact with them and they don't know what you do there or your skills. My 2 cents.. this is not the ideal place for someone looking to build a career. It's probably a good place for a senior executive looking to retire soon. AAMC executives essentially have no accountability or drive - guess it's the expectation for a non-profit organization. PS: This is my honest experience - not sure why others say AAMC is great place to work. Perhaps they did not have better experience elsewhere?

This is just a statement for instructional designers. They have no idea what or how to use them. They laid my entire team of 3 off after separating the design and development team from the evaluations team. Everyone in the instructional design industry knows that evaluation is an essential part of the ID process, so this move made no sense. Now, they're requiring current program managers to upskill in instructional design. It makes no sense to let somebody go that you've already invested 15k in tuition reimbursement for that very skill. For 5yrs they kept saying they wanted more technology in the learning they delivered and for 5yrs we were locked out of the LMS and they refused to invest in any technology nor allow it in their programs. they even suspended the use of the AI video generator we were using. They said it's a 35hr work week but you're basically pulling doctors hours and are on call 24/7. Go ahead and take vacation but you'll be pinged and emailed and needed to address issues that come up while on that vacation. Or we'll make you feel guilty for taking time off. They said they'd give "12 weeks of regular pay" as a severance and I've only received 10 (5 paychecks) and none of them are my regular pay - significantly lower, in fact. Payroll and HR are told not to respond to any of the people who were laid off.
