      Pros

      Brilliantly smart people who work hard and always have time for each other. Some great leaders who invest in their teams and help to balance the work/life of your role. AmEx is one of the best companies I have had the privilege to work in.

      Cons

      I do not have anything negative to say buy had to write something in this box to submit my review.

      I have an ‘interview’ with the SVP of Talent after a networking coffee chat I had with the SVP of Data/Insights. So he name dropped me, but when I asked the SVP of Talent about evolving needs, I didn’t get context about what they’re looking for. No jobs posted. How should I prepare for an in person ‘interview’ next week with the SVP? What should I expect? I don’t have as much info as I’d like to position myself well. Thus far, this is a connection-of-a-connection-of-a-connection thing.
