Pros

Was once a great company built on people principles, now cost driven and wrong decisions

Cons

Office feeling very heavy now, very toxic environment, all because CDTO way of leading very bad, honestly feel like worst decision to ever hire CDTO. Decisions happen secret, then suddenly tell team last minute, everyone rushing with no clear direction or help. Also CDTO keep over promising about core product, saying big features and fast delivery to others, but team know not possible, so more pressure come. At same time always say “do more with AI” without clear plan, just add more confusion and stress. When give feedback, is rude and not listening, so people scared to talk or try new idea. Anyone who challenge or question things, suddenly their role become “not needed” and made redundant, so others stay quiet. Now many people planning to leave or go off sick because stress too much. Instead making good teamwork, CDTO always control too much and keep changing mind, make everyone confused and very tired. Workplace not friendly anymore, people just try not get blamed, not really care about good work

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.
