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

Toxic work culture and worst management . U can’t work there for more than two years, either they will chuck you out or you will leave by yourself. Over pressure and no work life balance. The only reason they are always hiring is because every year the attrition rate is beyond limits .

Dislikes

Management and politics, work culture

- 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

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.
