Pros

Free lunch company sponsored lunch left overs Free Amex swag from time to time

Cons

Toxic work culture especially in Phoenix/Florida. Product has no knowledge on product and you have to be in the good books to get promoted in the tech side and say yes to everything. Staff engineers have no architecture knowledge. Very poor competency. Avoid here at all costs unless you are ok with not getting promoted and low pay. Leaders are highly biased.

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...
