Pros

Remote working Full autonomy environment Generous holiday leave around Christmas Amazing flexibility to juggle children / home life alongside work Very clear role responsibilities

Cons

Regular redundancies making it difficult to concentrate 100% on your role, future career and financial commitments Unachievable bonus structure / lack of clarity on what you actually need to do to achieve bonus. Some people receive bonus for doing the absolute bare minimum or showing face to the right people at the right time Salary is ok, probably below market average for the amount of work you cover and demand put on you. Very little appreciation from senior management for the actual work and stress you endure trying to achieve business targets very little involvement in business decisions which ultimately, could be better with input from those speaking to the business daily. It feels like senior management within AMS are too sacred to put forward changes to account leads, meaning the TA team are left with difficult conversations. Lack of career development - it’s very much if you shout the loudest in meetings, even if what you are saying has no substance, you get further up the chain to those who actually carry the business forward. No matter how hard you work - it’s not recognised!

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.
