Pros

Friendly but overworked team members. Phoenix was a good location in winter

Cons

Too much time wasted correcting mistakes of incompetent Indian outtaskers. Company laid off American programmers and hired cheaper Indian outtaskers, who have a poor work ethic and little understanding of TPF programming techniques. Technical Documentation (03's and 06's) was allowed to lapse, resulting in poor documentation of programs.

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...
