High paced, yet unproductive. Lots of "urgent" work that was never used for anything. - Finance Manager American Express Employee Review

Pros

Prestige of working for a well respected company. The benefits were very good and since they are a travel company, if you ever get stuck in a foreign country, they will get you out (I have seen this happen).

Cons

bureaucracy. many areas doing the same job and no one knows the other is doing what they are doing.

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...
