American Express Work Experiences
- 5.0Amazing Company, Great PeopleSoftware Engineer(Internship) • Former EmployeePhoenix, Arizona, United StatesSeptember 27, 2023Pros: Great company to work for.Cons: None. Amazing company, great people.
- 3.0Was an intern, then a campus hireSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeePhoenix, Arizona, United StatesOctober 14, 2017Pros: Great benefits (the paternity leave is awesome!). Good work-life balance (if you're on the right team). Management cares. Wonderful people. Life during the freeze (mid-November through December) is heaven on earth. They have 5+ personal development days, which are amazing, and management truly cares and supports your personal development and achievement.Cons: Slow internship with little to no work. When hired on full-time, they will not negotiate salary and gyp you out of fair compensation. (I realized soon after joining that I was being paid less than I was worth, even by their own standards). Having super nice colleagues means passive-aggressiveness when issues do arise. :( Also, there's this almost yearly mid-year company reorganization. It's insane. I have one friend who was moved around 5 times in the last year. 5 TIMES.
- 4.0Very good place to workSenior Engineer • Current EmployeePhoenix, Arizona, United StatesJanuary 2, 2021Pros: Culture, Benefits, Personal Growth, Decent salaryCons: Inconsistency across different portfolios from a culture and personal growth perspective.
