American Express

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.

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.

Let college hires negotiate their salary coming in. Don't shut them down. Don't "displace" someone who has been at Amex for less than 2 years.

Firing someone who's been here for so little time and joined out of college for no reason other than a reorg is uncomfortable.

Make taking advantage of the continuing education $ easier. Spread the knowledge. It can only help you.
