Dislikes

- Good work culture is a scam. The environment in actual in pathetic. There is no process in place to handle incidents of bad behaviour. I myself have faced eve teasing, and when raised it with senior leadership, they asked me to ignore it and focus on work. When I raised it with the CLR team ( colleague labor and relations), they said it doesn't fall under their work basket. The only reason Amex tops in the workplace culture is because they are very good at hiding incidents of bad behaviour. So many people around us have left because of the same. One of the incidents involved someone directly reporting to MD India, still no action was taken. - Promotions are very difficulty to get. There aren't much vacancies anyways, and some of which that do come up, they already have an internal candidate decided. They only post those vacancies in portal for compliance sake. They keep advertising lateral movement instead of vertical movements. - Low salaries compared to competitors. -They have been actively hiring female employees to maintain the gender ratio, but do nothing when we face discrimination by our managers or are misbehaved by other male colleagues. Two female analysts under my VP team have already left this year citing mental health issues. - They are not laying off people because they have been actively placing people in PIP. Every director has been informed the no of people to eliminate from their team. PIP itself creates so much mental pressure that the employee themselves end up resigning. Hence the attrition rates have also increased, but no news of layoffs....Read More

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

The open culture at amex is really good. You get opportunities to interact with senior VPs one-o-one. Learning and Development programs for colleagues gives immense opportunities to learn and grow. Colleague Care is one of their top most priority.

Dislikes

Being on a technology or engineering role, you might feel left behind. Product team is the face of the team. It has an upper hand on managing resourcing and talent.

No skill enhancement. Even if you emailed to the Managers or Directores of a particular project to learn their work, it's seldom that you get any reply.

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.

Dislikes

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

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.

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.

Dislikes

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
