AmTrust reviews

Leaders are egotistical and live in ivory towers (have separate lunch rooms and meeting rooms -I am not joking), work life balance is horrible, little recognition, poor integrity, lack of structured training/job objectives/feedback. It’s a company that is so backwards that it can’t recognize or keep good talent. Our department has no clue what is beyond the next week. No vision.

First things first, it is easy to pile on to AmTrust. I hope this review helps management fix some issues. The security hole mentioned in an earlier review totally exists. There is a massive database that contains very sensitive information that anyone can access because of a major issue, which they try to hide instead of trying to fix. Some people here seem to have gotten promoted from nepotism or from outlasting people that have quit. So there are a lot of managers that should not be managing. Therefore there does not seem to be a coherent plan and every team just does whatever they want. If 2 teams have an issue, you are just at an impasse and no management will step in. It is extremely easy to hide in plain sight. Meaning their workforce is two or three times larger than it needs to be. So more than half the people working there either invent work for themselves or just grind the day doing nothing.
