Pros

Paid time off is great for your first year (more then most companies offer) Co workers are great and fun to work with for the most part

Cons

Where do I start... •Management is absolutely terrible. They will throw you under the bus in a second to save their own butts. Managers are never doing any work and are on their personal phones most of the time. Most managers micro manage and will stand over your shoulder or ask you what you are doing every second of the day. •Training is HORRIBLE. They claim they prepare their workers for new systems/new clients but they do not. You get about 2 days of training until you are thrown into a completely new system. Things are constantly changing with new systems, which necessarily isn’t a bad thing, but lower level teams are never told. Communication is terrible and they leave you to figure it out on your own. This can cost you because you are dinged for every small error you make. •Most teams are understaffed and they won’t hire/bring a temp on to help which results in you and other workers drowning in work and putting in a bunch of overtime each week. They say it isn’t forced but they guilt trip you into working the overtime (without helping you) so they don’t look bad. Managers/other leaders will take credit for your work/idea if you don’t have it clearly defined/documented. You are doing the same work as someone who has the same amount of experience but is getting paid about 6 or 7 thousand more. They will do/say anything to justify why you don’t deserve a certain pay or raise. There are quarterly bonus’s that are paid based on performance but no salary increases based on performance which is horrible. •I referred multiple people that got to the final round interview and AMS never got back to them even when the person followed up 2 or 3 times. That just makes the company and myself look bad. I never referred anyone after that. This should tell you how terrible of a company AMS is Do yourself a huge favor and look elsewhere for jobs. The pay and stuff you have to go through isn’t worth your time!!

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s great to hear our culture and the care we show for our people have made a positive impact. That sense of support and connection across teams is something we work hard to nurture every day. We also recognize that client relationships can be complex at times. 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.
