      Pros

      Allow employees to work from home when needed. Allow employees to leave work early for medical appointments when needed. They are very flexible with this.

      Cons

      If you don't fit in with the cult like culture it will be very difficult to get promoted no matter how hard you work. Many of the programs are incredibly dated and are not used by other companies, so it is very hard to pass on your technical skills from Amex to the next company. If you join Amex, make sure the kool-aid is to your liking and you plan on staying forever.

      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...
