Business Outlook
Pros
American Express boasts happy, smart colleagues. Though we worked on a complex product that can easily feel boring, the culture made everything fun. If you work in acquisition, it's intense, fast-paced and long hours but the good energy motivates you to push the boundaries. They heavily promote movement across the company.
Cons
Though I would follow the top senior leadership anywhere, the mid-level leaders could use more training, or passion or both. Typical company politics. Your manager has too much say over your promotion worth. Processes take forever.
