Pros

- Maybe for a junior with no high expectations this is ok

Cons

- management elected based on how close their style matches the person they have interviewed with. Creates a toxic culture from the top down - the company have not established a good culture across all teams, it is very team specific - benefits advertised like working from home should be taken with a pinch of salt (this again is team specific) - no autonomy and micromanagement is rife - facilities are awful for the size of the company - no one listens to feedback, no opportunity for an exit interview - it is made difficult to progress due to standardised targets across all teams and areas of the business -most like a call centre, not a vibrant working environment - need to be at your desk to be seen to be working, no trust in staff to do their jobs - if you get close to senior leadership, you might stand a chance

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.
