Pros

For the most part, everyone I work with has been lovely, down-to-earth, and good at their jobs. The people are by-far the best part of working at AMS. Additionally, most people are allowed to work from home most of the week, though they don't hire any remote-only positions anymore.

Cons

Currently, my entire department is stressed about our job security. We're going through a restructure, which is fine in theory, but a senior manager thought it was a good idea to tell us (right before Christmas!) that most of our jobs are being moved overseas, and we have not been told how many jobs will be left for UK employees, but it doesn't sound like many. Soon my colleagues will all be competing for our own jobs, which has created a hugely toxic work environment. As far as we can tell, we're essentially all being made redundant and competing for whatever's left, rather than having our skills audited and being allocated when possible. On another topic, the widespread use and approval of AI-generated content throughout the company is very disappointing, and makes it clear that the company does not value creativity or originality. Why should anyone bother reading AMS' words if AMS employees can't be bothered to write them?

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.
