Pros

Great benefits, they treat employees well and the work is interesting. Pay is decent and includes annual bonuses

Cons

Work life balance can be rough, lots of offshore devs so depending on your team you can have lots of night calls. Tons of Indian coworkers including most of the leadership team so not the most diverse, but people are friendly.

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...
