American Express reviews

There's not a lot of room for growth unless you know people. Even a great performer only has upward growth but is still in sales and not higher up in the chain of command. Working virtually means that even if the systems issues you may encounter are because of Amex equipment, you will get written up or warned about it. The virtual employees receive a desktop PC rather than a laptop, like the hybrid employees. This makes your PC dependent on VPN connectivity or an Aruba device, which is not efficient. All the work apps are accessed via another virtual portal, which is inefficient.

-Hard to make progress / reach consensus due to the fact that the Bureaucracy at the company is very feudalistic (ie: everyone is looking out for themselves/their team rather than the whole enterprise). -Lack of product understanding / acumen across enterprise (ie: many requests are top-down and done "just because") -Hard to manage career growth (need to get on alot of people's good graces / navigate politics) and career path isn't always well defined. -Likewise, some promotions don't always make sense (ie: loudest or most sociable (not most hardworking) gets the attention) -Compelled to go to office even though most of the team isn't onsite.
