Politics have ruined everything

Pros

Wide variety of roles and benefits are decent. 401K match and incentives are good.

Cons

Too many politics. The culture has devolved into clicks and favoritism. Really great, long tenured, leaders are being laid off and replaced with lower cost poor talent or DEI checkboxes.

Pros

Great Company, Great Co-Workers, Competitive Pay, Technical Bar is a little low, low expectations around work completion.

Cons

Some co-workers are not super technically, most of the engineers who work at AMEX have been there their whole career, a lot of enterprise IT which means you do not get to touch a lot of technology and are black boxed into one way of doing things unless your on a cutting edge team.
