Overview of the Role
Overall, how would you describe your experience at American Express?
Pretty easy job, good work life balence and nice people. Not a high stress or high pressured environment. Can feel a little sleepy, especially for a first job.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
I have some ownership over my team.
To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?
3/5
Not much job satisfaction (as you would expect at a credit card company), but they know this so they lure you with a good work life balence and nice benefits.
How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
3/5
Good starting salary, but becomes quite stagnant. Bonus is good but doesn't vary massivley for low/top performers so not a massive incentive.

Good training opportunities and funding for courses too.
How would you rate the extent to which you were developing new or existing skills through formal training and your day-to-day role?
