      Pros

      American Express truly lives by its brand values and holds itself and leaders to a high standard of conduct. Opportunities to learn and grow as the company goes through a revitalization.

      Cons

      The company can be a bit slow to make decisions. Need to develop consensus on many levels puts a big burden of constantly working the matrix.

      Good for intermediate level technical roles, but little room to grow beyond

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work is pretty easy, lots of BAU work Large company, which means there is room to laterally move around Good if you want to move into a managerial role Telecommuting possible

      Cons

      Lots of red tape Soft skills (politics) valued much higher than technical competency Very few highly technical positions, which means advancement peaks early Teams usually consist of 80% contractors and 20% employees
