Pros

Great people to work with. Great environment

Cons

Pay is on par with the industry. Managers do not encourage you to go the "extra mile" and compensation confirms this.

Pros

Great culture and environment. Lots of opportunities to interact with management. Everyone is great about accepting meetings with interns.

Cons

I had a great summer though I didn't get a full time offer. I would recommend the company to anyone wanting a meaty internship.

Pros

American express is good Brandname. Its a Fair company. People are competent. It is global and hence offers Global opportunities.

Cons

Work life balance can be bad. Also leadership changes are too frequent. As an employee I felt that the organization was taking too many initiatives rather than focus on few most impact ful ones.
