Pros

- virtual positions are plentiful - depending on department/leader you have the freedom to do your job - ok salary, ok benefits - supports work/life balance

Cons

- too much work, not enough people - everything is a priority - very siloed and complex company structure. a lot of duplication of efforts - some business units are very myopic

Pros

Amex is a good company to work for because they encourage their employees to balance work with their personal life.

Cons

The compensation is below par compared to other NY area financial services companies. The credit card industry has been hit hard, so Amex is dialing back jobs.
