Pros

Decent salary. Only pro pointer

Cons

1. Take the recent 2020 reviews on the company with a pinch of salt. 2019 reviews are more reflective of the company culture and environment. I heard that they get their internal staff to file bogus positive reviews to 'boost' their reputation. Looks like 1 of local HR's 'KPI'. It says a lot if ams has to resort to this to up their 'street cred'. Senior management, if you are reading this, please investigate this allegations. 2. Attrition rate is notoriously high in some departments like HR and Finance. Even during covid! People rather leave than stay in toxic environment. Ask your friends who are ex-employees of this company. DYODD. 3. People are afraid of answering truthfully in surveys in case they are marked down. It has heppend before. 4. Hire a lot of incompetent people due to 'connections' in HR. In our ops team, we label HR as mini STATs. because half came from there. Please check. How many are from ex company and how many have the requisite experience to actually do the job, Senior management, open your eyes and the truth will prevail. 5. Join at your own risk.

AMS Review -- new CEO

Pros

This used to be a good place to work.

Cons

High-level managers and consequently staff underneath, were subject to insultingly-drastic cuts in bonus ~ 95% less than typical as a result of the new CEO cost-cutting strategy. Impossible to retain U.S. staff with these behaviors. Also, at least when I was there, no pay increases across the board, as that is the European way.

Dear Glassdoor member, thank you for your comment. We appreciate every possibility to use our employees` feedback to focus our work to the most important areas. Compensation is certainly a very important topic. We offer pay raises through promotions and regular compensation reviews. Bonuses depend on several factors. We are continuously working on benchmarking, as well as on shaping an attractive and fair compensation system in all the countries we operate in. Best regards, Petra Gregor Head of Human Capital Development
