Vantaggi

- Great company culture, willing to invest in employee development - Though slow, senior management is making the require changes to adapt to the market - Encouragement of lateral movements, great mean to get into other business areas where other companies would not even consider you given your irrelevant background - Bright and educated people - Reputable brand name which gains trust from clients

Svantaggi

- Closed-loop network has always been a product benefit, ironically, people there also work in closed-loop networks making cross unit collaboration extremely inefficient and this killed numerous opportunities as a result. - Too much selfishness in place, performance metrics does not reflect the true picture. Concerns with personal metrics outweights the well-being and benefits of the business as a whole. In many cases quality of work is sacrificed in order to "make up for the numbers" on their own scorecard. - Too much brown nosing, it is not rare to see someone with a usual snobbishness rating of 10 to completely go out of their way to lick the soles of the so called band 50+ and get rewarded. - People outside the US are treated like second rate citizens. - Productivity is low, excessive internal procedures, some are even redundant. Most Town Halls are a complete waste of time where the so-called "information" conveyed could be read and obsorbed in less than 3 minutes if passed by e-mail. - Be more prudent on your outsourcing to India, in one case, I had problems understanding what the IT support is saying to the point that I gave up talking and communicate through email instead...and getting her email address alone took me more than 5 minutes because her English was as bad you could imagine.

Vantaggi

Hanno una paga fantastica per la posizione in cui ti trovi e ti insegnano l'utilità interessante e coinvolgente della tecnologia moderna combinata con i fondamenti legacy. Ho imparato un bel po 'mentre AmEx venivo pagato più che equamente - consiglierei un tratto qui a chiunque stia leggendo questo!

Svantaggi

L'azienda è enorme e, a volte, potrebbe essere necessario più di un po 'di tempo per essere riconosciuti per le tue capacità e per la crescita che hai avuto. C'è una ragione per cui esiste una reputazione di "unica via d'uscita" per alcune società aziendali ...
