Pros

Amex UK has buzzing Technology campuses in Burgess Hill and, on a smaller scale, in London. Smart people solving hard problems in creative ways. The company puts a lot into making Amex a great company to work for, and this is particularly true for software engineers.

Cons

As a global company, there can be significant timezone challenges. Teams are often distributed geographically, sometimes 8 hours apart, which can be challenging to work life balance. The UK org can feel a little restricted in terms of opportunities for career progression. Salaries have dropped below market rates in recent years.

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...
