Pros

Really nurture the staff and have a clear vision where they want to be. Projects are well maintained and PO's (at least the one I crossed paths with) are generally decent at driving the team. There's good talent around you and you feel the teamwork mindset that is endursed everyday.

Cons

Still aren't a truly remote company. For its size and investment in tech, the company should be more open with regards to remote working, allowing staff to remote in from other countries which not where the employee is allocated (e.g: uk staff being able to remote in from lets say spain). They allow only 3 weeks in a year is almost nothing. Some room for improvement here

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...
