"Relatively speaking, this is probably an amazing place to work. But they have a long ways to go to be a cutting edge technology company. They're stuck in the high security ways of the financial industry, making advanced progress very difficult."

"I've worked for AMEX / Serve for 6 months and the place has an excellent work environment, the people are top notch, management is a bit of a stickler about following chain of command but overall open minded and helpful. Protocol some times trumps efficiency, but hey... It's a financial institution!I would recommend it to a friend!"

"Contracted for Amex developing mobile applications. The work environment is pretty relaxed at the office, they seem willing to let you work from home and some employees there work 100% remote. You do have demanding deadlines. They just started using Agile development methodology with Scrum, and there was some confusion on how to effectively implement this and actually make it work without burning out the developers. Speaking of burn out, the release date for the app was moved up 3 weeks."

"I found AEIS to be an exciting and upcoming company when I first came on board in 2001. The company evolved into a toxic culture and was sold twice in the last 5 years."

"American Express is a good company to work for. There are many people who are working for 20 or 30+ years here and choose to make it permanent job. However, things are very much process driven. Processes must be followed irrespective of reality sometimes."
