Pros

They're good at brainwashing their employees and redirecting their attention to things that is not important to their employees.

Cons

- This year is the second time that they have not paid bonuses due to "not meeting the target" even if the quarterly catch ups and influx of new accounts says otherwise. - The annual increase is a joke and it would seem like you owe the company for just having it. - Working hard will not always equate to a good standing. What matters is if your line manager "likes" you because that will give you opportunities instead of actually being good. - Internal promotions would only give you max of 10% of your basic pay. Those that have a low base pay are at a disadvantage. - The salary ranges are also not being followed for all levels even if it's already reflected in the system. The management knows this but chooses to ignore. - They have good internal ratings because they'd do the surveys first before announcing the bad news.

Thank you for sharing your experience so candidly. We’re sorry to hear that your time at AMS left you feeling this way, particularly around pay, progression and trust in leadership. That’s not the experience we aim to create. We know that decisions around bonuses, salary increases and promotions have a real impact on people. When expectations and outcomes don’t align, it can feel discouraging. If you’re open to it, we’d welcome a conversation at colleague.feedback@weareams.com. We wish you well in your next chapter.

Pros

Flexible and remote working Great company but with the right leadership

Cons

Since the leadership change last year, the culture within AMS has deteriorated significantly. The new CDTO’s approach has created an environment that feels increasingly toxic and unsustainable for many employees. There is a strong sense that every problem is expected to be solved—or sidelined—by AI, often without realistic planning, sufficient resources, or input from the teams actually responsible for execution. This has led to confusion, constant shifting priorities, and a lack of meaningful support for getting work done effectively. At the same time, workloads have increased to an unsustainable level. Expectations continue to rise, but without additional resources or clear prioritization. Many teams are stretched thin, juggling multiple high-pressure initiatives with tight deadlines, which only adds to the stress and makes it difficult to maintain quality or balance. More concerning is the leadership style. Communication often feels driven by pressure and fear rather than clarity or collaboration. Many employees feel they are operating under constant scrutiny, which has contributed to widespread stress, anxiety, and low morale across the department. It’s becoming common to hear colleagues express reluctance to come into work, not because of the workload itself, but because of the atmosphere.

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest and thorough feedback. We appreciate your recognition of the flexibility and remote working environment at AMS, and we’re encouraged to hear you continue to see strong talent and potential within the organisation. We’re sorry to hear that your recent experience has not reflected the collaborative and supportive culture we strive to create. We recognise that periods of transformation and evolving ways of working can create pressure for teams, particularly when priorities shift quickly or workloads feel challenging. Creating an environment where colleagues feel supported, listened to, and able to contribute openly is extremely important to us, and we take feedback relating to culture, wellbeing, and leadership seriously. We would encourage you to continue raising your concerns through the appropriate internal channels so they can be heard and constructively addressed. Thank you again for sharing your perspective.
