Cons

If you join NeMo, especially as a new grad, good luck. It's not a place for new grads, and it'll make you regret your choice in choosing Amex. It has long hours, little mentorship, and a lack of appreciation.

You have to stay on the same team for 1.5 years before switching internally without director approval. If you get a director that isn't enthusiastic about letting you leave, you literally just have to wait it out.

Advice to Management

When your team tells you they hate work and want to leave, listen to them. Obviously, things can't change immediately, but if they've repeatedly brought up the same issues or even brought up wanting to switch teams internally several times, just listen to them, or you're going to constantly see people leave Amex altogether with a poor outlook on what Amex has to offer.
