Pros

The people we work worth at an Independent Contributor level are absolutely some of the most hard working and talented individuals I have ever met. They truly care about the work and the teams they support, but this is where the pros end.

Cons

Accounts are poorly managed, for the most part, from the top down. There are a select few senior leaders who are doing an amazing job, but they are only few. Most are allowed to run accounts into the ground, taking their people with them. No accountability in leadership once you reach a certain level, but the teams are consistantly asked to do more with less, and are held to a strict set of metrics and SLAs. As a manager of a delivery team at a lower level it is exhausting trying to keep teams motivated and positive while leaders constantly finger point. There is no training for the delivery teams doing the work. Nothing is fresh or innovative, there are no new tools being introduced and no new technology to work with. Team members actually lose skill set working with this organisation. The CEO has an inner circle that protects one another instead of making this a better place to work. Nothing is for the people here, it's all about how much money you can make and who is liked most amongst that inner circle. Lying, nepotism and favoritism should be the values of this company instead of saying they are passionate, authentic and distinctive. HR is a joke, I am not even sure what it is they actually do here besides gossip about people. I have yet to see one effective, strategic, initiative come out of this function. They do not help support the contributor populations what so ever.

Reading about your experience at AMS troubles me. It certainly does not reflect the values we espouse. Nor does it align with our aim to enable an inspiring and supported environment where our colleagues can be the best version of themselves. As Chief People Officer, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your feedback in more detail so please do contact me Sandy.Lucas@Alexmann.com in confidence so I can act on it.

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.
