Pros

The competitive pay and good benefits package were definitely a factor in helping me decide to come to work for American Express. The office location is convenient so I don't have much of a commute.

Cons

The job is not as it was described in the interview. Technical skills they were looking for, and that I said I was looking to use, are not needed so not being used. Had I known that most of my time would be spent taking minutes and doing status reports I would not have accepted the position. I am looking for more challenging work elsewhere.

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...
