Pros

Great benefits and opportunities to grow as an individual. One of the leader in premium travel services.

Cons

So much for the blue box values where one should respect the local community. Too many incompetent Filipinos get promoted by their own Filipino managers, which is part of the reason why complaints are rising. Favoritism rules the department, causing a lot of unhappiness among staffs who felt they were treated unfairly. The Singapore core which our government promotes is not practice by the company, which in turn is like a slap in the face for the company promoting their blue box values. As a local, I felt like a minority here.

Pros

They have fantastic pay for the position you're in, and they teach you interesting and engaging utility of modern technology mixed with legacy fundamentals. I've learned quite a bit while AmEx while getting paid more than fairly - I'd recommend a stretch here to whomever may be reading this!

Cons

The Company is huge, and at times it may take more than a little time to get recognized for your abilities and the growth you've had. There's a reason there is a "only way up is out" reputation exists for some enterprise companies...
