Pros

Great brand, first class travel

Cons

This is not a company for technical staff. it is is a credit card company that does not recognize or promote innovation on par with tech companies. If you want a safe job, this is the place, but if your passion is technology, be patient, seek other opportunities.

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...
