      Pros

      Great brand recognition Plenty of opportunity to cross-train provided you have time Top performers are valued greatly

      Cons

      Peer performance alignment is very political Exhtremely tough to move up the ladder if you don't have direct VP or SVP support Too many chiefs and not enough workers Multiple meetings are needed to get anything done

      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...
