Pros

Diversified and family oriented company. Flexible working hours, healthy living programs for employees, causal dressing, virtual work office and great salary. Little supervision from management, which I believe drive results and getting the job completed on time.

Cons

There is hardly any cons to share, as American Express thought very hard in finding ways to make their employees comfortable and happy. However, if I had to share something, I would would say that promotion can take time and challenging, as there are many experienced and knowledgeable people to compete with.

Pros

Very people and relationship oriented culture. Good pay and benefits as well. You get to work with some great, smart people.

Cons

The cloud of continuous reorganization always there. Never know when the company will need to displace employees. It can be a very trying environment.
