Pros

Exposure to large clients and the opportunity to work on well-known accounts.

Cons

Internal redeployment support may NOT be as strong as advertised, even for high performing employees. It's you and your luck. I worked for AMS for almost a year and was a top performer on one of their North American accounts. Despite consistently delivering strong results, I was ultimately let go after 11 months when the project ended. One of the main messages AMS communicates to employees is that if your project ends, they will prioritize you for redeployment internally and support you in finding another role within the company. Unfortunately, this was not the case. After being released from the project, I followed all the guidance provided and applied to more than 10 roles within the company that were genuinely aligned with my background and experience as a recruiter. Despite being qualified for these roles, I was rejected from every single one. In one case, I was even referred by a former line manager, yet that still did not lead to an opportunity. I was even open to roles one level below my previous position (something I had seen redeployed employees do) yet I was still not considered, despite having strong working relationships with colleagues and managers. It was disappointing because I showed dedication, genuine commitment, and a strong interest in continuing my career with AMS. The level of internal mobility and support that is often promoted simply did not materialize in practice.

Supporting our teams to navigate those environments with confidence and collaboration remains an important focus for us. We appreciate your feedback and your contribution to AMS.

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.
