Pros

The culture at AMS is one of integrity and fun. I am allowed to make decisions and manage while also serving my conscience in a high paced culture. Too many companies make decisions based solely on the bottom line and I have heard and seen the management teams make decisions because it was "the right thing to do".

Cons

The Americas is a high growth market which leaves some feeling the growing pains at times due to quick turnaround times, long hours, or just the feeling of not knowing. I feel though that the work we do today will be a huge reward at the end of this journey.

Thank you for taking the time to comment on our organization. We appreciate the positive feedback regarding our culture and management approach. We are making efforts to improve our communication and think your idea of expanding to text alerts is definitely something we should consider. I'd like to encourage you to please share any of your thoughts and ideas with either myself, marketing, or any member of the leadership team. I can be reached at tanya-marie.nichols@alexmann.com

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.
