Pros

AMS has been trying to get the employees more engaged for the past couple of years. Programs have been in place to ensure employees are heard. And some issues that have been raised were addressed to some extent. Career progression is likely but only to a certain degree. Hardwork pays off only until you get to a lead specialist role. The company's benefit package keeps on evolving due to the demands/grievances of the employees. HMO provider was changed due to incompetence. Insurance provider switched to get more benefits/coverage. Satellite office was opened for employees living east of Manila. Things like that. Remote working option available to a big section of the workforce.

Cons

There is career progression within the company as I have witnessed deserving (and undeserving) employees move up. Once an employee reaches this level, it's gonna take a whole new approach to get to the next level up (supervisory). From this point on, you will see credit grabbers, smooth talkers, or just plain underperformers move up the ladder. Why? Because they hang with the managers most of the time. You will be surprised when you see the newly promoted 'leaders'. They don't even know how to 'lead' per se. The new performance incentive scheme seems unfair to the most hardworking segment of the company, sourcers and admin. Employee referral program needs improvement.

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.
