Pros

Blue chip client base although tend to favor larger corporate clients. More recent diversity in client base. Often have large volume hire clients. Can travel internationally in some instances.

Cons

Very cliquey atmosphere,your face must fit and you must toe the corporate line. Work-life balance needs attention. Lots of travel and working outside of core hours with no extra compensation. Over complicated career structure with debatable annual performance reviews. Middle/senior managers out of touch with reality due to glossy presentations from managers. Tendency to promote good recruiters versus those that can/do manage.

Pros

They're good at brainwashing their employees and redirecting their attention to things that is not important to their employees.

Cons

- This year is the second time that they have not paid bonuses due to "not meeting the target" even if the quarterly catch ups and influx of new accounts says otherwise. - The annual increase is a joke and it would seem like you owe the company for just having it. - Working hard will not always equate to a good standing. What matters is if your line manager "likes" you because that will give you opportunities instead of actually being good. - Internal promotions would only give you max of 10% of your basic pay. Those that have a low base pay are at a disadvantage. - The salary ranges are also not being followed for all levels even if it's already reflected in the system. The management knows this but chooses to ignore. - They have good internal ratings because they'd do the surveys first before announcing the bad news.

Thank you for sharing your experience so candidly. We’re sorry to hear that your time at AMS left you feeling this way, particularly around pay, progression and trust in leadership. That’s not the experience we aim to create. We know that decisions around bonuses, salary increases and promotions have a real impact on people. When expectations and outcomes don’t align, it can feel discouraging. If you’re open to it, we’d welcome a conversation at colleague.feedback@weareams.com. We wish you well in your next chapter.
