Clueless leadership

Pros

Better than industry average for total compensation

Cons

Leaderships only care about making themselves look good, very often make their managers go back and forth on results multiple times. B35s are overworked to please B45. B35 is the terminal level here. No path to B40 unless there is an opening, which is rare.

Great perks and benefits

Pros

Personally, what sets Amex apart from the rest are the kind of people that you work with. You make lifelong friends, confidants and amazingly supportive and understanding peers. Work is tough, but paid training and peer support are key to help you succeed. You get to work with talented, smart and successful colleagues who are willing to share their best practices as well. On the remuneration part, they pay really well above the market average for any given role. In a way so much so that it's hard for you to find another job that pays better than here (at least from Malaysia perspective). Your job here typically covers shift and travel allowance. Your bonuses are paid fairly. You get additional benefits such as dental, insurance, paid training, housing and car loan subsidy and the list goes on. Lastly, every diverse culture, background, ethnicity or gender is welcomed.

Cons

Realistically, there will be some forms of bias, politics and favourism among colleagues. But that's human nature. It's still balanced by winning framework and regular coachings, check-ins. Overall, in most roles in Amex, your performance is measurable and it speaks louder than words. No company is perfect, but overall Amex is a safe choice for exploring a long-term career.
