Pros

Really smart people. They treat people very well. Financially generous. Great resources available to be able to really exceed. Great emphasis on work/life balance. Opportunities to work remotely.

Cons

As someone who didn't grown up through the ranks at American Express, I found it challenging to become part of the "inner circle." Most people that are life long employees are always thinking about their net move and take the safe route with programs. It could be a more collaborative environment.

Pros

They have fantastic pay for the position you're in, and they teach you interesting and engaging utility of modern technology mixed with legacy fundamentals. I've learned quite a bit while AmEx while getting paid more than fairly - I'd recommend a stretch here to whomever may be reading this!

Cons

The Company is huge, and at times it may take more than a little time to get recognized for your abilities and the growth you've had. There's a reason there is a "only way up is out" reputation exists for some enterprise companies...
