Pros

I've been here two years and coming to AMS has been the best career move I've made in a decade. Things I value: Great leadership with clear vision The most diverse workforce I think I've ever been part of. Lots of women in senior positions and very diverse workforce in terms of cultures, ethnicity and disabilities. Very progressive approach to flexible working, very family friendly policies Great buzz and engagement around the place and really interesting work Lots of long-serving employees who've seen significant career development here as well as many people who've left and come back to AMS at a later time - for me a sign of an attractive workplace.

Cons

Some slow-moving decision making such as clarifying roles and responsibilities when reorganising and investing in new or improved systems That's all I can think of really, AMS ticks all the boxes for me.

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.
