Pros

Good benefits Good PTO Nice office

Cons

No raises. To get a raise you need to go through many hoops. False promises. They lure you in telling you they will help you become a recruiter. Instead they place you in an account and keep you there so you can’t advance to what they promised. No job security. You are hired in as “permanent” but then are given less than 24 hours of notice that they will lay you off. Clear nepotism. Those that survive the mass lay offs are favorites or related to higher executives at the company. Upon being notified of the layoffs you are placed in a “redeployment” period. Where they give you 30 days to find another position or be laid off. No help from anyone within the company to find an another position. HR is non existent. Unfair promotions and hiring. During redeployment was told I could only apply to coordinator positions as “I did not qualify” for a recruitment positions. However, promotions and recruiter positions are given to favored coordinators that have no experience. Clear discrimination. Job could be done remote, however was forced to go in to the office when everyone else on the team worked from home. Extreme micromanagement and expectations within accounts. You are given the job of 5 people and are paid very little. At the end of the day they expect loyalty, but they will lay you off without notice despite being you a good performer.

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.
