      Fast paced, demanding and ever-changing. Keep your head on a swivel, because there's always another project to work on!

      Pros

      I enjoye working there as a contractor. The people were nice and the work was interesting.

      Cons

      A.E. is somewhat of an anachronistic company. They don't like it when employees to work from home using company laptops, even though interractive teams are worldwide. Corporate culture seems too caughgt up in the facade of "official outreach". Overall, though, I liked my managers and was sorry when I was caught up in the layoff typhoon. I would work there again.

      Good salary, interesting job, nice people -but quite rigid, with growing pressure and ever-changing rules

      Pros

      Great benefits package, (one of the) best salary in Madrid, relaxed attitude (e.g. re working clothes), nice relationship with bosses who are quite laid-back and friend-like. I liked working there!

      Cons

      The rules were getting stricter and stricter, and didn't always make sense. We were put under quite some pressure with that. Some of the teamleaders I had were useless, and mostly let the seniors (sub-ordinates) do all their work, but took the praise for it.

      Management was very helpful in securing a promotion when I received my Bachelor of Science Degree.

      Pros

      American Express is a great company to work for if you are willing to work hard. Opportunities are there if you seek them out. Also, senior management can be helpful with promotions if they see that you are a hard worker, diligent and work well in a team as well as independent.

      Cons

      American Express creates specific positions. If the position is eliminated it may be hard to find another job of that caliber.
