Leadership is valued at all layers, work life balance is great - we really encourage people to upskill and network

Cons

Sometimes there’s too many leaders and not enough doers. Certain parts within the tech org are not as inclusive as they may appear on paper due to high contracting

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...
