Pros

The best thing about working for Amex in IT is the benefits package, all the usual thing and then access to an incredible array of extras. My favorites were the access to coaches, the peer reward program and the 5+ training days.

Cons

IT is such a dinosaur. There is very little ability to be creative, the hours are long and the culture is just toxic with gossip and politics running the organization. I was burnt out within three months and while I managed to stick it out for three years, the week after I left I felt like a huge weight was off my shoulders.

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...
