Pros

AMS have a multitude of clients with some of those long-standing . There are some good people at AMS trying to do the right thing for their clients.

Cons

I set my stall out to get a role with AMS having knowledge of them through my recruitment career and encountering some great people who worked for them. The reality is it really does depend what account you find yourself on to the experience you will have. My manager would send messages in teams at 10pm at night asking if I was online as they had a question! Regularly you would be putting in many hours including weekend messages - which don’t get me wrong is ok but not constantly. In the accounts I came in contact with there was a distinct lack of structure and so rod these accounts they had for more than 12 months. Due to the lack of budget and talent for what they w at to pay they have complete teams with no recruitment experience and expect them to perform like seasoned experts from Day 1.

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.
