Work From Home

as expected and standard for all

I love working from home!

Most positions at the bank are site-based, but they tend to have flexibility to work from home, if the project allows.

Depending on the department you are in and your leaders view point, usually pretty cool about it

In reality most employees can work from home but for whatever reason Amex decides not to give that option so frequently. Tech employees are given their own laptops and connections but it is still mandatory to work at the office for most of the time. However, there is a double standard for employees so this does not apply to all. I have seen employees create situations where the employer can't refuse.

I worked in Technology and with the move to Agile Methodology, the goal is to have co-located teams. As such, working at home will not be allowed unless there is an exception.

Depends on which group you are in on virtual work environment.

In theory most people work from home on Fridays but culture in some groups still favor in person meeting. Equipment is not so good for people working virtual to hear.

Amex supplies you with everything you need to be successful. The company is very well-connected and great technical support when needed.
