Pluspunten

Good: • Great for College graduates to gain experience • Good training programs • Will meet great friends • Depending on the account and manager that you work for, your work form home can be flexible

Minpunten

Bad and Ugly: • Company culture changes all the time • No job security (contracts can end early; meaning you better hope that AMS can flip you to another account to work on; otherwise, you can except a severance package) • Pay is terrible (lack of promotions and/or merit increases) • Depending on your account and manager, your work-from-home options may NOT be flexible • AMS seems to lose contracts causing doubt for job security • Very client based (manager don't back you up or your team for the work that you do) • HR: you will feel that you can’t go to HR with problems or issues that you may have (you will not be able to talk to the main person in charge; you will get the run around) • Very cliquey atmosphere • Smoke and mirrors: managers /leaders will let you think things will get done or promise you things; however, nothing usually comes of it. • You will fill out these individual development plans to “further your career within the company.” Don’t let that you fool you! Development opportunities depend on the account that you work for and the budget they have set. Opportunities may not be there for promotions or merit increases due to the account you work for. • Managers don’t take accountability for anything. They will make you feel like it’s your fault when in actuality, you will work your heart out and work overtime without appreciation. It all depends on the budget that they have set for the account!

Flexible and remote working Great company but with the right leadership

Minpunten

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.
