Pros

Management actually listens and cares what you have to say, it's a great place to work if you don't have much experience and just want to get you feet wet in some type of administrative/hr capacity. Company has grown quite a bit and is trying to grow more, even though the growth has noticeably slowed down. Pay is pretty good, especially for someone with just a degree and without any experience. Great work life balance, some managers are more accommodating than others but overall a very strong emphasis on work life balance.

Cons

Sometimes they're not truthful with you in the interview process about what you'll really be doing once you get hired. They've hired so many people that promotions are few and far in between even if you've worked really hard to get one and done everything that was asked of you. Work can be repetitive and boring but the pay makes it worth it.

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.
