Pros

- Stands head and shoulders above many players in the RPO industry - Has an excellent portfolio of blue chip clients - Good internal mobility policy, can move around amongst different clients whilst still effectively being able to stay with the same employer/career structure - Recognises, rewards and promotes people based on merit - As an organisation, has a huge emphasis on the flexible working piece; I've been approached by other RPO organisations in the past and they always comment that the flexibility Alexander Mann offers makes it hard to poach people away. - Has a good gender split at all levels in the organisation - As well as moving around within the UK, it is also very possible to relocate abroad as the company has a global presence - Senior leadership are open and receptive to views, regardless of where you sit and at what level - Policies exist that allow for career breaks / sabbaticals, dependent on length of service

Cons

- Can be quite difficult sometimes to see an internal career path that goes outside of recruitment delivery/management into other areas such as business intelligence, operations, etc, and how such a transition would work. Although people do it, it would be good to provide more information/case studies so people can have the most visibility.

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.
