American Express reviews

Ridiculously antiquated HR "stack rank" assessments demoralize knowledge workers and alienate new talent trying to make an impact in a passive aggressive culture of career survivalists. Constant reorgs means everyone has was too much work to be effective so the "who you know" culture ends up dictating your work assignments, likelihood of actually getting the promised "work-life balance" and ultimately compensation.

Salaried employees working at the company are subject to rank and yank type performance reviews. Management in the Financial Crimes Reporting Unit is completely inept. They hired people managers instead of people who actually know how to do the work. This place is ripe with favorites, if you aren't one, good luck to you. The technology in the phoenix office is so out of date the phones look like the original prototype for avaya systems. I could have made this shorter and just told you to picture every terrible thing you have ever experienced at an old job or your current job, roll that into one company, and that is what you get when you work for American Express in Phoenix, AZ
