Pros

Overall, I would work at American Express again. Good culture, but that can depend on which organization you work in. Certain organizations do not espouse the Blue Box values. Good work/life balance. Same caveat. Good vacation allowance. Great direct management and good management one to two levels up.

Cons

Salaries near the bottom of the industry and comparatively poor against other companies in like for like roles. US citizens have poor job security. Watched many talented individuals lose their jobs so that the company could hire replacements in India. Not because those individuals did not perform well, but only because they were tenured and at the top of their pay ranges. Three levels up and further, they're typical executives that see you as a cog and not a person. They see your work as dollars that make up their bonus. They make changes, not because they're beneficial, but because they need to put their stamp on things.

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...
