Pros

I enjoye working there as a contractor. The people were nice and the work was interesting.

Cons

A.E. is somewhat of an anachronistic company. They don't like it when employees to work from home using company laptops, even though interractive teams are worldwide. Corporate culture seems too caughgt up in the facade of "official outreach". Overall, though, I liked my managers and was sorry when I was caught up in the layoff typhoon. I would work there again.

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...
