Pros

I met some great friends here! Flexibility to work remote. Diversity in clients / industries.

Cons

Poor leadership that often manifested through a small, insular circle of decision-makers who frown upon and limit diverse perspectives and ideas, resulting in stagnation and resistance to change. When leaders rely solely on a close-knit group—such as the original crew that came over from the UK or those who managed to early on make it into the circle—they miss out on the valuable insights of a broader, more inclusive team. This narrow focus creates a culture of complacency, stifling innovation and adaptability. Leaders who resist change quickly become ineffective, failing to adjust strategies in response to evolving circumstances, which leaves the organization vulnerable to missed opportunities and heightened risks in a dynamic market.

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.
