Pros

- Flexible working and fully remote - Good holidays (can buy / sell them) - They trust you to do your job / autonomy - Colleagues are friendly - Good company values and mental health initiatives

Cons

- Pay hasn’t went up after more than a year working here, no mention of it and no bonus. Pay varies depending on each employee and don’t feel it’s fair pay as some staff doing same job but getting 4K more per year than others and no PDP plan given since started in order to help improve the pay. - The systems can be slow and challenging at times and a lot of access issues. - Way too many targets and tedious admin tasks to do that don’t really make a difference to offers per month - Workload is too heavy and impossible to keep on top of everything but always expected to which is difficult

Many thanks for taking the time to feedback. 2020 was a challenging year and over the last few months we have seen a steep increase in workload. It would be good to hear more from you directly on what is working and what we need to do differently based on the actions we have taken to get back to a better workload level for all. Please reach out to stephanie.gillingham@weareams.com

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.

We appreciate your recognition of the flexibility and remote working environment at AMS, and we’re encouraged to hear you continue to see strong talent and potential within the organisation. We’re sorry to hear that your recent experience has not reflected the collaborative and supportive culture we strive to create.

Creating an environment where colleagues feel supported, listened to, and able to contribute openly is extremely important to us, and we take feedback relating to culture, wellbeing, and leadership seriously. We would encourage you to continue raising your concerns through the appropriate internal channels so they can be heard and constructively addressed. Thank you again for sharing your perspective.
