      Worst company (AET)

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you are money minded and a follower of uncle scrooge and you are able to lick you directors feet, this is the best company for you

      Cons

      1) No work life balance 2) Hire and fire policy 3) too much stress on band differences 4) no promotions 5 ) Rouge and some Desi people have converted it to a fish market. 6) Being a technology company , they act like a call centre. 7) Never ever ever ever join this company 8)Even If you are 10 year experienced person outside AMex they will treat you like a fresher and do micromanagement. 9) they will fire you if you are on bench for 2 weeks.

      Compliance Analyst in the FIU

      Compliance analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      AMEX hires a lot of people without relevant work experience, so this position is a great opportunity for someone to change the trajectory of his or her career. AMEX looks good on your resume.

      Cons

      If you're in the FIU outside of NY, career opportunities are fairly limited. The organization is setup as follows: Analysts and Senior Analyst (these are the people that do the actual work) Managers and Senior Managers (basically their job is to babysit the analysts) Directors and VPs (they babysit the managers)

      Typical for Large Company

      Director it
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, PTO, Compensation, Work-Life Balance

      Cons

      Competition for performance ratings can turn bitter as peers become "enemies" in some areas...backstabbing is everywhere. Leadership (VP and above) opportunities are rare; some VPs are in roles much too long and organizations become stale. Therefore, ability to move vertically becomes hard - and "life long" Directors with good performance ratings seem to hinder "new comers" from ever having a chance to pass them.
