American Express

It's a large company with a lot of interesting technology. Looks good on your resume.

That's a good thing because you will always be thinking about leaving.

So many internal services are outsourced that it is very difficult to get anything done well or in a reasonable period of time.

It is frowned upon to mention this. I've really never seen anything like it.

Low salaries.

Extensive offshoring means US salaries are driven down, and the quality of work for offshore is much lower than most onshore. But it's cheap, which is all anyone seems to care about.

It's never hit me, but there are often reorganizations where good people lose their jobs for no apparent reason. This makes everyone nervous whenever there is a change, and a lot of people always have one eye on the next job as a result.

I'm quite sure management is not interested in my advice or most other employees.
