Pros

Good vibe within the company, on the leading edge of technology innovation. The company as a whole has great values and is good to their employees.

Cons

Senior Leadership In technology organization is bloated with good old boys. They play the diversity card and gender equality but reality is, the new CIO doesn't practice what he preaches. The company will continue to lay off good employees due to the senior level bloating. It was a shame that Ed Gilligan pass unexpectedly this year, he was an amazing leader and would have taken Amex into the future. The current leadership cannot get out of the past.

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...
