Prestigious with a side of cult - Program Manager American Express Employee Review

-Amex puts the “cult” in culture. Very cliquey and likes to say they are inclusive, in reality, they hire a certain prototype of employee and those employees don’t create a welcoming culture. You are expected to drink the amex koolaid if you want to succeed -Your success is dependent on your leader’s influence and how much others like you, regardless of your contributions -This is a company that likes to hire and promote young employees who do not have the communication skills or experience to be managers -Depending on your team and role, you will be working very long hours in a very high stress environment
