Pros

- Decent pay - Lots of paid time off opportunity (PTO, sick days, summer flex days, 5+) - Several different departments with endless technologies - the people - easy interview experience

Cons

- if you join NeMo, especially as a new grad..GOOD LUCK..it's not a place for new grads and it'll make you regret your choice in choosing Amex. It's long hours, little mentorship, and lack of appreciation. - You have to stay in the same team for 1.5 years before switching internally without director approval and if you get a director that isn't enthusiastic about letting you leave...you literally just have to wait it out.

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...
