Pros

Good work life balance. Offers work from option. Good cab facility for RIM employees.

Cons

Management does not make a difference in compensation between somebody who is working and somebody who isn't.

Pros

Sitting on your butt all day.

Cons

Working at AMEX was like being a character in Office Space. It is so bureaucratic and I would find myself twindling my thumbs all day. As a software development intern I literally did nothing. This is not the place to go if you want to experience technical innovation. If you're working in technology, everyone thinks they're better than you. Tech is not prioritized and you will do nothing.

IT didn't last - couldn't find sufficient clients - it was recession time
