From a client perspective love the benefits for Amex, but is there an actual difference amongst you guys in terms of work-life? Just curious lol. Thinking about applying to Visa.
Great work life balance at Mastercard. Good employee benefits, positive work environment.
Which org?
Product...Curious to know your experience.
Amex is boomer city. The company itself should have a pace maker as a logo. Slow, no promotion, bad pay but I work 10 hours a week and got an 'excels' or top 20%
What team? I’m having a very different experience
Read my post below
MasterCard - it depends on the team and role. What role are you looking for
How's associate product specialist in products and innovation at nyc?
Recently started at Visa, seems very relaxed. Got told 9:30am is “early”. Ok pay and pretty good 401k, wlb seems to be pretty great
Love Mastercard! Great culture, enablement from leadership, room for growth (they encourage changing roles/functions to diversify experience), best in market comp and 401k match. They truly care about their people! And they have happy employees as a result!
Can u refer for MasterCard
I can talk abt Amex. Full of idiots at Director & VP level. They can make your life hell. Very outdated thoughts and old school leadership style. Most leaders are sitting in Amex for more than 15-20 yrs and have no clue about outside. Naturally, they can’t find jobs outside, so they will continue to stick here. Highly political as old shits need to do it to survive. Pathetic pay!!! Let me know if you need more to know.
Why does AmEx refer to bosses and executives as “leaders?” Also, why do you subscribe to the terminology if you don’t respect them
Yes. But fast tracked if you're a woman. Our org chart has some squiggly lines going up to vp which are minority females. Lol Vp has diversity and gender bonuses.
I’m not sure about the negative thoughts on Amex, you all must have really horrible teams lol. For me I definitely love the culture, very friendly and encouraging engineer director, we are pretty close to our engineering VP and get to interact and learn a lot from him. We also use the latest technologies, and I’m stressing latest, almost entirely no dealing with legacy codes. Work life balance is ok-ish, sometimes you’ll have to work til evening or few occasions on weekends. The most downside is low pay (vs FAANG and hedge funds and such) as you already know on Blind. But not everyone can get to Big Tech immediately, and Amex can be a good place to start and learn, and then you can choose to leave later
I can relate to this.
I’m in Amex and can relate to this...it’s been one month into the New Years and I have had 3 different people from finance and risk teams fuck up reports because they don’t know how to do weighted averages. Desperately looking to get out
Visa - great wlb. MC - slow and easy. Amex - not sure
