      Pros

      American Express is a large company with a great brand. There are many great people to work with and room for development. The benefits are above average and the pay is comparable.

      Cons

      The main negative with regards to Amex is it's method for controlling expenses. In order to meet short term targets and provide value to investors, there are yearly layoffs accompanied by separate off shoring projects. The consistency of these activities has driven down morale and made some people begin to look elsewhere.

      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...
