Expect to be burned out very quickly with no work/life balance

Pros

The health benefits were pretty good and I liked members of my team before they all left.

Cons

Its a UK-centric company and the US employees are treated like second-rate employees. Expect to work easily 10-12 hour days and it still won't be good enough for management. It's a revolving door of employees. The company wants to think that it is very collaborative and edgy but it's a very unhealthy, backstabbing environment and you can't trust anyone. No appreciation for loyalty and years of employment and the same people are recognized on monthly calls over and over.

Pros

The legacy of the business is positive and externally, the marketing team are able to post a positive spin on it.

Cons

Heading down a generalist recruitment route. The specialisms the company once had are in decline and new appointments at a senior level are not condusive the AMS DNA. Work life balance is poor and the recent private equity investment means that an overly lean business is left trying to deliver unrealistic targets and unrealistic pressures being placed upon people.

Pros

Work from home flexibility and ability to move to different accounts

Cons

Management doesn’t know how to communicate, they like to spread the team too thin and still expect us to meet our SLA’s in a timely fashion.
