Pros

Great range of clients you could potentially work across. Strong leadership; Commerciality within your; Great Culture; Genuine Career-Progression; Opportunity to continuously learn; Strong personal development opportunities; Good infrastructure and support network; Great transparency on the financial performance of the organisation; Accessible leadership; An organisation that is truly at the front of the RPO market and leading the way in best practice, world class recruitment solutions.

Cons

You need to be a self-starter to succeed (as in any organisation right?); Sometimes the RPO model & solution for a client becomes outdated as the wider market evolves - can cause pain until corrected; Can be behind the curve on pay and salaries - bonus is always ambiguous; Centralised communications need to be improved - don't know what's going on else where in the company until you ask or find out yourself; the nature of the organisation means it is very disparate - few opportunities to really meet and connect with people across the broader account.

Pros

None. Could be the fact they tend to win contracts with some great clients, although poor implementation & management means the potential of this is never realised, hence many clients not staying beyond their initial locked in contract period.

Cons

Poor management. Low cost, reactive, agency approach, not a quality approach tailored to specific clients needs. May work in high volume recruitment settings, but not in specialised partnerships. Makes it difficult for internal recruiters with a quality, customer focus to be able to operate in this way and source proactively and become business partners. No understanding of what a solid internal talent acquisition function should look like, or how to acheive this in a way that is commercially viable for AMS. Lean staffing, expect ongoing long, flat out days with no support if requested.

Pros

The client base is high profile and impressive, unfortunately.

Cons

Disconnected leaders and "supervisors", yelling at subordinates and driving fear into the service centres. A truly disgusting, authoritative and aggressive culture being driven out of Singapore and UK into RPO accounts. I was bullied by my manager, who also bullied my team. Poor retention, I had 4 managers in 1 year. Aggressive leaders, nasty culture, intimidating and sarcastic leadership. AMS hires rookies that will not speak up when bullied and threatened.
