Pros

Amex is a great place to gain experience in many areas, especially payments. There are many opportunities for growth if you want to move throughout the company.

Cons

The cons at Amex is they have a rigid process for promotion, so you can get 'stuck' in the role you start in for many years if you're not willing to move horizontally throughout the company. Being a bank, they are more financially focused than innovation focused, even though they talk about being interested in technology advancement.

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...
