Pros

- My leadership was caring, understanding, transparent, and fair. - Salary was fairly competitive for the market in which I lived. - Decent benefits. - I did not hate my job while working there.

Cons

- Was laid off (apparently this is a common occurrence within American Express) - Company is shifting towards requiring more people to come into the office with the only explanation being "for the culture".

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...
