Pros

Payback is a subsidiary of American Express and is an innovative loyalty management provider. Started in 2000, it had grown to 1200 staff in 2013. American Express uses the loyalty management system in the USA under the name Plentii. Interesting work in a fast growing company

Cons

Payback is very agile, however within American Express this was not very welcome and it took some time to convince then of the advantages
