Pros

Clients belong to the top global brands Promising vision

Cons

Bad Office Politics Weak Senior Managers & HRD Stressful work environment Poor salary structure & benefits Gossiping is rampant - even Senior Managers talk badly against other Managers and even against Clients Some Senior Managers think they are better than the others but do not want get their hands dirty in solving critical issues... instead they find it more convenient to point fingers than do fire fighting "Hunger-games" type of culture

I was really concerned to read your comments. I am in Manila from 1-7 June spending time training managers, meeting the teams and running a number of town hall sessions. I would really appreciate the opportunity to discuss your feedback in more detail. Please contact me in confidence sheena.cartwright@alexmann.com and we can arrange to meet. Kind regards, Sheena

Pros

There's a good work/life balance, along with great management that wants you to improve and to grow at the company

Cons

Pay is a bit low, but still good. Nothing else follows into a Con at this time. Company looks to be moving in the right direction.

Pros

- Great PTO plan - Flexibility to work remotely

Cons

- Extremely poor leadership. AMS is having a very difficult time attracting talent in the US as they are a UK based company. Because of this they are prompting children into roles that they are not remotely qualified for or are hiring " diversity candidates" with a banking backgrounds. If you walk in the door and you are a female with an exotic name and you have worked at Key Bank I think you will have an offer to start withing 10 minutes of starting the interview. - High School Politics- Its almost hard to describe unless you have been there. The culture at AMS is very clicky and its all about " who you know ". It is very common to see upper management favoring employees and even to the point of some of them taking selfies at the bar and posting to social media sites. - Poor Business Model- Because AMS cannot recruit talented recruiters nor keep ones within the organization they have resorted to hiring " foundation " employees. This is a way for them to hire 20 year olds for near sweat shop labor salaries and jump them from account to account while they buy time to figure out how to run a company.
