Pros

Global company with a lot of perks, good pay, good benefits, great people

Cons

I got laid off after hitting 150% of my quote, ranked #10 in the US out of 90 reps, generating $36MM in revenue for the company a week before thanksgiving 2015. Since then they have asked me to interview for an OPEN Consultant role, which the hiring manager had already made a decision to bring on a friend of his top performer, get this only lasted a year because they all have left to Capital One even the hiring manager. Then they call me to interview for a rare opening in GCP expansion the hiring manager says that I was the first person she thought about for the role so I interviewed. During the face to face with the hiring manager I presented my 30/60/90 day plan and all she said was you know you about the role, what do you want to talk about? I was like what?? I had been working at a company for about 3 months at the time so I let her know my previous history with AMEX. I found out to my complete shock they hired someone else with no experience. Never heard why or feedback. Now they call me for that OPEN role AGAIN. The hiring manager pretty much said why didn't I get the GCP role, I said I don't know I explained what happened, he then said he had 4 great candidates and wished me luck. Talk about being jinxed. I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to work here. Good riddance.

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...
