Pros

- Easy going for NY (depends on the department) - Opportunity to move around in the company and do different things.

Cons

- Pay is not great. - Lots of people working long hours doing pointless things. - Sometimes the number of hours worked matters more then what you do. - To advance it matters more how long you have been with the company rather then what you have done or how smart you are.

Amex is a great place to work if your spouse has lots of money.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work Life Balance. 4 weeks vacation + 4 flex days in the summer. Work here if your spouse is independently wealthy and you don't need the money.

Cons

Pay is terrible. Never had the money to take a vacation and enjoy the time off. Top down management was very stifling. Any new ideas were blown off. No transparency for promotions and boss didn't care to think about my long term career at Amex. No visibility to high impact projects. Didn't feel appreciated or recognized by leadership. Didn't take advantage of my skills either. They didn't know how to promote good people either. Anytime I suggested to get some skills I thought could help me in my job, I got shot down. Any interaction outside of my team was viewed with suspicion and discouraged.
