Pros

I have got exposure to some brilliant clients. remote work no micro management as long as you working hard and doing your job. Great salary. I really have loved AMS but what I have seen over the last 6 months or so it’s really went downhill.

Cons

Having been here nearly 7 years there just isn’t the opportunities in UK that there used to be. A lot of management aren’t that good and just know people or network really well whereas the people who actually do the hard work and get recognised by clients don’t seem to progress. If you are at risk, good luck, the worst internal mobility team who just tick boxes. I’ve seen some great people leave because the company just seem to focus on India. As someone who is going through a potential long term health issue with diagnosis over 3 weeks ago I have yet to hear from my manager in AMS yet my client manager has been so supportive. And many of my colleagues have been in same position.

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.
