The company is a great employer but the management is in the rut, not having farsightedness or business acumen. - Anonymous employee American Express Employee Review

Pros

Amex is employee-centric. The compensation is one of the best in the industry. Medical/insurance benefits are decent. Amex has a decent feedback mechanism through which the employees' voices are heard. More accountable to employees than most firms.

Cons

The management is highly susceptible to sycophancy. Your good work goes unnoticed several times. The employee PMP rating system is a joke. Those who have no leadership qualities are promoted to managerial positions. The management sweeps several issues under the carpet, sometimes blatantly.

Pros

They have fantastic pay for the position you're in, and they teach you interesting and engaging utility of modern technology mixed with legacy fundamentals. I've learned quite a bit while AmEx while getting paid more than fairly - I'd recommend a stretch here to whomever may be reading this!

Cons

The Company is huge, and at times it may take more than a little time to get recognized for your abilities and the growth you've had. There's a reason there is a "only way up is out" reputation exists for some enterprise companies...
