American Express reviews

Salaries near the bottom of the industry and comparatively poor against other companies in like for like roles. US citizens have poor job security. Watched many talented individuals lose their jobs so that the company could hire replacements in India. Not because those individuals did not perform well, but only because they were tenured and at the top of their pay ranges. Three levels up and further, they're typical executives that see you as a cog and not a person. They see your work as dollars that make up their bonus. They make changes, not because they're beneficial, but because they need to put their stamp on things.

There are abusive people in power/leadership and there’s nothing you can do. If you report them, they won’t lose their job but they will try to get back at you if you go to HR **example of abusive leadership: a TL trying to make me quit when I was pregnant by playing mind games but also saying things like “you know this job is your only option. No one would ever hire a pregnant lady. Now you’re crying? You cry all the time so I have no empathy for you.” I also know of men in leadership who have touched women inappropriately, specifically platinum TLs. Favoritism is extreme: if you are friends with your leader, you actually don’t have to do any work, AND you’ll get promotions! If you are not friends (seemingly because you’re a different race than all the leaders & favorites) your work will be nit picked constantly.
