Pros

Work life balance Inclusive atmosphere Friendly colleagues Really promotes an atmosphere of being involved in the culture of the company Relaxed office environment

Cons

My whole experience had been extremely up and down. I started on one admin account last year and was there for 6 months. I really loved the team and the feel of the role and the hours were great. Then after 6 months was told we were being moved to a new admin account. It all went downhill from there. Management was a joke, workload was insane. Team atmosphere was not good and led to multiple people leaving within 4 months. I was left managing one area of our team without any experience and no help from team lead. Workload spiralled because we had no staff to deal with it and no push back from management. I no longer work with the company and my experience has marred my opinion on reapplying to the company.

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.
