Pros

Some positions has good salary. Good benefits. Lots of PTO.

Cons

It's a nightmare being a developer here. All of their workstations are super restricted. Have to go through weeks of approval process to even install dev tools that are not on the approved list. Most websites are banned. Not a fun place to be for devs.

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...
