      Pros

      Sitting on your butt all day.

      Cons

      Working at AMEX was like being a character in Office Space. It is so bureaucratic and I would find myself twindling my thumbs all day. As a software development intern I literally did nothing. This is not the place to go if you want to experience technical innovation. If you're working in technology, everyone thinks they're better than you. Tech is not prioritized and you will do nothing.

      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...
