AmTrust reviews

-There are very few well-though out processes at Amtrust. -Too few mid-level managers that are managing too many product teams. --Most of mid-level management is populated by programmers who are under-resourced and are just moving from one fire to the other. --There is no vision regarding what direction a product should go, bugs repeatedly reappear, and developers are left to fend for themselves as mid-level management has no bandwidth to institute training, process, or direction on how to solve basic problems. -Most tasks could easily be automated if well-thought out processes existed. It kind of saps morale when one realizes ones talents are needlessly being devoted to unnecessary repetitive tasks. -The organizational structure of the company outside my department (and even to a degree inside my department) is a mystery to me.

Unfortunately, even the best salaries cannot make up for the toxic work environment. Human Resources caters to immature and unprofessional employees who constantly complain about co-workers, supervisors and managers, which just reinforces and escalates that behavior. The company is growing too fast through acquisition after acquisition with very unrealistic expectations about the time it should take IT and related departments to assimilate the acquired business into AmTrust's system. Much of the "senior" management team is relatively young, and seem to believe that walking into a meeting and screaming at people will get things done. Is it a Workers Comp company, or a P&C company, or a warranty company?? This is an organization that needs to decide what it wants to be and learn how to do it right.
