American Express Senior Engineering Manager 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.

Learning curve is good, Gbt Product is complex and interesting. C-suite management has clear vision and well defined roadmap.

Dislikes

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

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

Cab service and free food.

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

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.
