Chill job with low expectations but poor leadership
Pros
Chill job You can get away with not doing a lot of work (depending on team of course). WFH flexibility Good 401k/general benefits Light hours The bar to stand out is very low amongst my team members
Cons
This job I have is the most boring job I've ever had. I do not feel challenged. There's way too many cooks in the kitchen. I've been at Amex 3 years and I've had in total 5 or 6 different direct managers. Leadership is a MESS and their direct reports do not know what's going on which impacts everyone below them. There are quiet layoffs and is not acknowledged by the leadership team(s). These quiet layoffs are claimed to be "restructuring" Not everyone works and the chaos lets you get away with it. It's a stupid place to be honest, if you want to chill or focus on your family or whatever personal stuff you have going on I would recommend it.
