American Express always encourage a work-life balance culture, whether you are hired as FTE or contractor for the organization. It gives an ample amount of opportunities to grow which is impecible for any tenured or a fresher employee.
I guess apart from limited access to system for contractors is the only restriction which doesn't allow contractors to learn more about internal domain knowledge

My team leader pressured me so much in terms for going out for dinners lunches etc and when I started avoiding he made sure that my performance chart was good enough to not to shift me to anyother team as I kept on apply internally..moreover when i reached out to the HR for harrassment complaint she took his side even when I provided evidence. The TLs here are very very wierd especially the old men who are waiting for the prey be careful as the internal system as well supports them worst work culture...Read More

Learning curve is good, Gbt Product is complex and interesting. C-suite management has clear vision and well defined roadmap.
Managerial roles from India geolocation ill/under trained, usually they are promoted to manager role for reasons - They have product knowledge as they would spent 10+ years in org. Seriously lacking work ethics and standards. My higher up manager was literally unable to meet the higher up expectations and would add undue pressure and treat team members not less than master/slave approach. So one should have great emotional intelligence to work with ill trained managers in Amexgbt. Not advisable if you are looking for career growth, Career satisfaction, Job security and especially women employees....Read More

Amex is everything one could ever ask for.
Amex doens't invest in cross functional training of people. Especially the people from operations are confined to a fixed repetitive job.

American Express is a brand and has lot to offer you . Moreover the new campus has world class amenities .

Amazing company to work with. Monetary benefits are really good. Insurance and yearly appraisals are greatly appreciated. Perks are good and play crucial role in employee’s motivation. If you are lucky you will get good managers and work journey would be smooth and promising. Amex is a wonderful company and people in higher management i.e. above band 40 are employee centric.
Work culture of every management is different. Few are really appreciating their team members and few will micromanage and do not support. Few teams do not recognise their employee’s effort. Favouritism will be easily seen. If you make good relationship with manager then good work will come to you and you will be appreciated on regular basis. You will get chance to be in meetings with higher management and that increases visibility.If no good terms with management then they will suppress your good work and no recognition for your extraordinary performance in RnRs. After-all your rating is in their hands. Goal’s rating is under employee’s control but Leadership rating is under your manager’s control. Managers can intentionally ruin rating as they dislike that particular. They wont let to take internal movement. They will give bad feedback so that you dont clear IJPs and leave company with self doubt....Read More

Good policies as compared with other companies
Same typical egotistic managers who hide behind the aura of helping rather than actually helping. No job security at Amex. Appraisals are basis how you get along with your bosses.

Mostly, we work on cutting edge technology
I dislike toxic managers like Vikas Malhotra - who promotes only favoritism. He tends to recognize colleagues based on personal preferences rather than their talents and capabilities. He promotes only those who praise him, while the rest of us suffer under his leadership. This environment is not conducive to growth or collaboration, and I believe it impacts team morale negatively.

Large enterprise hence culture is good and provide job security
Work life balance depends on the projects in Technology and hence many times, it becomes bad, appraisals are mostly in higher single digits or lower double digits maximum. Promotions are usually given based on favouritism.

Benefits and perks.
Workload is way too much. Even they want you to be like robots who work as per the breaks assigned by them and if you dont they penalise you. I guess when we are working somewhere we should have the freedom to take break on our own time. Not as per how company decides or sets it. Basically they are treating you like a school kid.
