American Express Director Engineering Reviews

Likes

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.

Dislikes

There absolutely no voice heard even though I was a SEM. I was expected to do same job as junior and no credit given for all the extra work done. Expected to work over weekends without any extra pay apart from daily slogging for close to 2 shifts. Shaming about pay and junior comparison was an every 1 on 1 call job for the boss (obviously he is not talented enough). Favoritism is the shout of the week for useless people when compared but they are always the best. Bullshitting about “serving leadership” if any feedback is given it’s taken very wrongly and revenge is taken. If you persist and prove them wrong then it will lead to your termination as it happened to me. Don’t believe the CLR (colleague experience team ) they are totally useless and fit for nothing. They are there to watch the cat and mouse show and have fun. They don’t understand basics about work or tasks when i was explaining and I had to record it for them to later on review it. After providing soo much of proof, at the end they and said you only have to accept thing positively and work towards resolving the issue with your leader. They are a total waste of salary. I would suggest Amex to remove this team and save some money....Read More

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.

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.
