Culture…pretty relaxed culture but if you want to move up it’s a place where people go to take advantage of not doing much so a lot of people sit in roles forever.
Pay is going to be below market and interviews probably mostly behavioral.

Are you in amex right now?

It’s a great culture but I agree with JPM on negative points.
Depending on office location it can be very hard for you to move up. Some people I know have been moving laterally for 5+ yrs. Go into interview to find out what you’re going to learn in the role. Some roles are just meant to stagnate you.

Depending on group you’re in, it can be on chopping block for layoffs, so it’s really important to know people from other groups.

As to pay, I think it was in market but I know so many people who left for above market offers, including myself.

If you’re starting a family, they offer 20 wks and other good benefit for adoption & IVF.
Big complaint was the deductible for medical, very high. I went to another company where the premium and insurance exactly the same except much smaller deductible and more money to HSA.

Yes headquarters is best opportunity for growth.

I can confirm as I have a friend in a PM role at Amex right now and the pay is subpar to market average but the job is easy.

I got selected in LTI, the offered CTC is less than my current CTC, HR says they have budget constraints.

They were aware about my current CTC right from the first call.

I also shared the counter offer that I'm holding. (Offered CTC > Current CTC)
Switch won't make sense if I don't get the basic hike.

How can I convince them to revise my offer? YOE -3.2 yrs

Please, I need your opinion on this. I have 6 years of experience as a software developer and just finished my masters degree in data science. Now I am looking for a job here in the US. I went through the hiring process with this company and finally got an offer. They offered 88k/year and I responded opening a negotiation. They emailed me back saying that I am no longer in this process anymore with no further explanation and in Thanksgiving day. Is that normal?that email really got me very upset

Just wanted to brag a little. This may not be much for some but I’m super excited. I graduated with a B.A in chemistry July 2022 and I start my job this Monday with a salary of 60K!
