Pros

Regular employees are hardworking and make the company despite the leaders not knowing what they are doing

Cons

They say anything to get a sale then mismanage it from day 1. Leaders don’t have a clue and the employees are the one who lose when clients are unhappy with the lousy service. Layoffs and more layoffs. They brainwash you into believing the authentic culture is real. Actions and words don’t match. It’s what you do. Leaders screw up and are never held accountable. If you are thinking about working here, do your homework and ask them about turnover and changes to accounts. Talk to people who are there and left to hear the real story and not the HR spin. Toxic culture. They give you a lot of vacation days and work from home to keep you from quitting. It’s all they have to offer. At some point this is not worth it and people quit for better jobs at better companies.

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.
