AMG reviews

The only downside to AMG is that because it is so successful, people don't leave very often, so there is very little upward mobility. It is also a relatively lean organization so there aren't many management levels (a good thing mostly). Thus, if you are a subject expert and are happy with a role that allows you to flourish in your subject area, then this is a great place to be. Similarly, if you want a job that you can leverage into a better opportunity down the road, this is a great stepping stone. However, if you are looking for a place to join and move around or "climb the ladder," you will be frustrated.

- Work/life balance is terrible where comp. is just slightly above market, if at all. - Lack of flexibility, exemplified by PTO pushback, expectations of ready availability away from the office, stringent WFH policy, etc. To be fair this may depend more on who your manager is, but flexibility is absolutely the exception and not the norm. - Upper management decisions affecting employees company-wide are made with great deal of implied lordship and lack transparency, which can leave you frustrated and scratching your head more often than not. - Nauseatingly large compensation at the highest levels. While not necessarily bad at face-value, this becomes much less palatable given how scarce adequate personnel resources are. - The exceedingly flat title structure diluting any sense of formal hierarchy can lead to unnecessary confusion and/or lapses in communication during busy periods. - Limited room for career growth and/or upward mobility. - Very cult-y culture that can sometimes feel bizarre or unnatural.
