Blend of Startup and Corporate - Anonymous employee AmTrust Employee Review

Upward mobility is quicker than in most large companies, and personal relationships with C level execs is what will keep me here until further notice. I feel like AmTrust is a company full of doors that you can gain the key to if you work hard. Since we are considered young in our industry, it is a great experience working alongside founders as well. I currently work under the CMO who has built an enterprise level team in the past two years and has had many changes implemented throughout the company. Our team is very tight-knit and really respects one another like a family, and we enjoy each other quite well. We have only lost 1 person due to location, and 1 person due to their performance in 2 years. If you prove yourself, the company and the CMO are both EAGER to promote you and give you more responsibilities. I've had many more opportunities here than I would have had anywhere else. You just need to be respectful of the corporate environment, and work hard. It is a large organization, and many people do not know how to work without being respectful cross-department. I reference this company that operates as a corporation with the essence of a startup because it isn't a giant corporation like a Google that is littered with riffraff employees that will allow you to go under the radar. Also, being a large corporation, change takes a bit of time and people become impatient, but realistically it moves faster than average. Everything is obvious here because effort and results are measurable and we do not have 100s of people doing the same thing. I like this environment because it is not a "clock-in, clock-out" type of corporation where your every move and deliverable is overly analyzed. If you are a great at what you do, you are uplifted and encouraged. If an AmTrust exec is taking their time to look over your shoulder, you most likely gave them a few reasons to, because it's never been the MO in my multiple years here. AmTrust is what you make of it. If you want to sit back while it grows, you’re left behind. If you take initiative, there are rewards in many forms. The company is willing to pivot and change when needed. Working well is more important than upholding a failing legacy, which is great considering our conservative industry. I currently work under the CMO who has built an enterprise level team in the past two years and has had a lot of changes implemented throughout the company. I have had a very different experience than the 1 person who has been fired in the team in 2 years (and one person who left due to location).
