Pros
- Relaxed atmosphere - Company genuinely cares about its colleagues and Cardmembers - Great company for people with families - You can stay in the company 20 years and do 10 very different jobs - there's lots of variety between roles - Company genuinely cares about inclusion and diversity - feels like a very safe place to work. Inclusion and diversity policies do not feel tokenistic unlike a lot of other companies. - CEO leads the company with vision and compassion, especially through Covid 19 - the company didn't make a single colleague redundant in 2020 through the crisis - Some very capable engineers here who are also very willing to help you grow - even engineers in other teams will always make the time for you if you need technical expertise, mentorship or a general chat - 9-5 is standard for engineers unless you're at director level
Cons
- Tech salary isn't that competitive compared to other London based financial services companies - Departments are often siloed and change can be fairly slow paced - if you want a fast moving and agile tech company, Amex is probably not for you
