American Express reviews

Blatant discrimination, racism, cronyism, pay below industry average, outdated technology, old fashioned, little innovation, bureaucratic, very slow decision making, the opposite of Agile. I was told that the diversity at Amex was a facade when I first started. I ignored the warning and didn't believe that an industry leader such as Amex could partake in discriminatory and exclusionary practices. There's a reason that discrimination is mentioned in Glassdoor reviews. It's prevalent. Amex claims diversity and inclusion in their Glassdoor intro and beyond for marketing and recruitment efforts only. They're checking a box because it's trendy and upheld by law, but there's nothing done in practice. HR does nothing to stop discrimination when reported and will protect their racist managers even when showing proof of discrimination and harassment. The racial tension that's on display throughout the country right now is alive and well at Amex. You'll be shocked by the amount of stories that you'll hear about former employees leaving because of the discrimination they faced while working there. This is the reality. You've been warned.

- Advancement is difficult/impossible even if you’re top rated/talent - Pay - Diversity is not a priority - Over-emphasis on networking and relationships, often leads to favoritism
