Pros

Pay is good. Benefits good. Work-life very good. Amex doesn’t have to be your life. The stability of a big company that always makes money is very comforting.

Cons

They refer to their people as resources. They’re moving away from the outsourced contractor model but the mindset runs deep in the culture. Someday perhaps they’ll make an honest transition to a digital product company, but for now they are still struggling to understand the differences between products and projects. So you’ll find teams that are constantly killing themselves to do things poorly on tight timelines.

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...
