Pros

Has an amazing work-life balance, definitely feels like the company cares about your time and well-being. They try their best to use modern technologies when starting new projects.

Cons

It feels like the desires (demands) from the business side of the company completely override the opinions of the engineers. Utilizes some internal frameworks and tech stacks that end up slowing development down due to bad maintenance and lack of documentation

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...
