Pros

American Express as a technology company is current, up to date, leading edge and a good place to work if you want to stay current with the latest and greatest.

Cons

The company has no loyality to workers more senior in tenure with higher salories. They downsize every few years outsourcing more and more of the work. While the pay is cheaper the approach seems to be well if I don't get it right the first time perhaps I will get it right the second time.

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...
