Pros

Its an amazing company if you land it the right department.

Cons

American Express claims to care about minorities, but only when their Indian. The refuse to hire black people in the tech side, and when you do get hired, Its always an awful job. A whole department will be made up of the same group of people(Indians) where they will only then hire others that look just like them. Its disturbing. Amex doesn't care because they love cheap labor an know they can work the H1 employees to death.

Pros

- Complimentary lunch and starbucks everyday - On-site clinic for basic check ups - Hybrid

Cons

you will be taking phone calls every minute of the day. There will come a time where you feel like at the bottom of the world. You will ask yourself "is my role in life to help people reset their password online and assist them in logging in?" You cannot use the bathroom whenever you want, they have time coding that if you "abuse" them you will be flagged and subject to discipline. You have to give world class service but at the same time rush them off the phone or else you are not getting paid a good bonus. You will quickly find yourself gasping for air and time to relax when you take 50+ calls a day , you will feel drained. When is finally time to move up there is a high chance you will be paid less than you're current role as there are no bonuses in higher roles.
