Process
I gave my application to the recruiter at the career fair. Then, a week later, she reached out to schedule an interview. I set up a date and time and was waiting for the call, but I didn't hear back from her. I emailed her, and still nothing.
I don't see this company lasting for long with recruiters like this.

Good Pay, Mixed People

Pros: Pay is good, and so are the associated benefits.
Cons: People are hit or miss. Tech stacks can be very old.

Good benefits, poor tech culture
Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Benefits are really great. Can’t beat them.
Cons: Found the tech culture lacking. Amex was still transitioning in 2018, and I hope they’ve improved since my time there.

Was an intern, then a campus hire
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
October 14, 2017
Pros: Great benefits (the paternity leave is awesome!). Good work-life balance (if you're on the right team). Management cares. Wonderful people. Life during the freeze (mid-November through December) is heaven on earth. They have 5+ personal development days, which are amazing, and management truly cares and supports your personal development and achievement.
Cons: Slow internship with little to no work.
When hired on full-time, they will not negotiate salary and gyp you out of fair compensation. (I realized soon after joining that I was being paid less than I was worth, even by their own standards).
Having super nice colleagues means passive-aggressiveness when issues do arise. :(
Also, there's this almost yearly mid-year company reorganization. It's insane.
I have one friend who was moved around 5 times in the last year. 5 TIMES.
