Pros

work-life balance great to work with other happy employees. people not over worked or burnt out.

Cons

salaries not competitive. very bureaucratic and has a very structured hierarchy but that comes with being in a 60,000 person firm.

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...
