Pros

- Culture can be good depending on where you are - Most co-workers are nice - Struggling to think of other Pros

Cons

- Broken processes and systems - They have outsourced many basic HR functions to vendors, very difficult to get things done - No work/life balance. They see the word 'global' as a means to expect you're available all day and night (calls at 6 am and 10 pm on the same day not uncommon) - UK working style is outdated and unable to adapt to modern ways of working - Very UK-centric and it's not a better way of working. - Outdated technology, you will receive old machines that struggle to work at times - Lots of politics, constant organizational structural changes, people getting laid off every few months. About half the workforce has been laid off in recent years. - This is a struggling company, will be pleasantly surprised if they manage to keep the lights on in 5 years - Leadership is full of speeches and big words with little to show in terms of action - Many coworkers seem stressed and overworked.

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.
