Pros

We were supported throughout the pandemic, our teams are amazing and the code base is great.

Cons

Need to pay more to keep talent. At least if you work at Amex you’ll learn how to be a good software engineer.

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...
