Pros

above market package reasonable annual and maternity leave.

Cons

very racist against asians. if you are not white then no career development for you. all senior management team hire based on their connections. if you know one of the directors you can get the job regardless if you have the experience. no clear understanding of what is it like to take the largest rpo account in asia but insisted on aligning the structure with uk.

Having read your comments we are concerned about your experience working with the AMS team. We are immensely proud of our people and believe that the combined 74 years of banking experience held by the direct account leadership in Hong Kong provides a strong foundation for the success we share with our HK banking clients. Our local representation remains between 71% and 90% for regional accounts in APAC, our clients tell us the blend of our regional and global teams continue to be the key to our success. I would invite you to make direct contact with me regarding your concerns and observations and I can be reached on Rebecca.dakin@alexmann.com

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s great to hear our culture and the care we show for our people have made a positive impact. That sense of support and connection across teams is something we work hard to nurture every day. We also recognize that client relationships can be complex at times. Supporting our teams to navigate those environments with confidence and collaboration remains an important focus for us. We appreciate your feedback and your contribution to AMS.

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.
