Pros

Great co-workers. Good learning experience. Fantastic benefits and PTO. Good management team.

Cons

Over reliance on contractors. Different teams within department billing each other is ridiculous. We're all on the same team, get the job done. Blue work space is also silly, we should either be in our own desks or in a scrum room.

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...
