      Pros

      Flexible working hours, supporting managers

      Cons

      performance bonus is not consistent (depends on overall company revenue and performance) even if you individually or your team hit the target.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It’s encouraging to hear that flexible working and supportive managers are making a positive difference in your day-to-day work. We also recognize your frustration around performance bonuses, particularly when individual or team targets are met. We understand how important fairness and clarity are in reward decisions, and are committed to maintaining open and transparent communication about how bonuses are determined and to continuing to strengthen understanding in this area.

      Not what it used to be

      Pros

      Remote working and very, very few members of the C Suite.

      Cons

      Micromanagement is the master theme here. No annual increases, bonuses are a joke when they do happen (which is about the same chance of winning the lottery). Focus is solely on valuation in the PE space. Clients are viewed as valuation multipliers only. Employees are treated a recyclable garbage and quickly tossed aside to make the company numbers look better. Employees used to be viewed as value drivers, but not anymore-merely viewed as costs. There is zero accountability at AMS. Someone is always blaming someone else for failures or lost bids. It's always the market and downturns...never on how things are delivered. Looking in the mirror is hard to comprehend at AMS. Lots of incompetent "senior leaders". I use the term leader on purpose. AMS could be a textbook example in a McKinsey playbook on how not to operate.

      Thank you for sharing such candid feedback. It’s clear you’re feeling disappointed and frustrated, particularly around leadership, accountability, recognition and how people experience decision-making today. We know experiences can shift over time, especially as markets and client demands evolve. That doesn’t lessen the importance of how those changes are felt by our colleagues. Creating an environment grounded in trust, fair reward and responsible leadership remains critical to us. If you’re open to it, we would value a more direct conversation at stephanie.gillingham@weareams.com. Any discussion would be treated in complete confidence.

      Good company

      Pros

      Great pay and benefits. Supportive of transferring to different roles.

      Cons

      If the contract ends it's incredibly hard to get onto another one. Sometimes there's no feeling of job security.

      Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re pleased to hear you value the pay, benefits, and the support around moving between roles - internal mobility is important to us, and we’re glad that came through. We also understand that contract transitions can feel uncertain. Given the client-based nature of our work, experiences can vary, and we know how important clearer pathways and visibility between assignments can be. We appreciate your balanced feedback and the perspective it brings.
