Pros

Fairly easy to move around in company and acquire new skills. Looks great on resume. Training is available you can take advantage of. Great place to work if you can "build and leverage relationships" well.

Cons

Corporate culture here is intense and very conformist. Politics are important here. Very hierarchical. Extremely competitive environment. Salary is not as high as other financial services companies in NYC.

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...
