I joined American Express as a College Grad. People here at Amex are wonderful, highly professional, never hesitate to lend a helping hand. Work culture here is very systematic and planned, alongside work-life balance is one thing which i highly admire. Talking about person learning and growth opportunities, Amex provide multiple learning platforms and your manager directly tracks your learning goals and progress. There will be proper training for the first month....Read More
Other compensation benefits are quite good but promotional increments are quite low in magnitude for lower designation.
Work life is quite flexible. A decent amount of leaves are provided to employees each year, out of which some can be encashed if not availed. People understand your problems and supports you either professionally or personally.

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.
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.

Very few - 1. Free food 2. Brand name
1. Work is not appreciated. Leadership is just worried about saving their jobs than focussing on their team members.

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 .

Cab service and free food.
- 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

In my role I had an amazing work life balance. Never received a call from my bosses to work on holiday or work off .
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.

Amex is the best company I have ever worked with, work culture, flexibility, compensation, management etc everything is superb
Amex few HR's never reply or help, when Amex ex -employee want to rejoin Amex they should help them by providing support & feedback needed. They should reply on time.

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 .
The problem with amex is that many department are understaffed and they don't hire people resulting into employees cannot take leaves or has to work more hours to show there productivity
