Pros

Company seem to geniunely care about the customer. Employees have autonomy to achieve in a results driven culture and great flexibility provided to staff in my area;

Cons

Little opportunity for career advancement and salary increases which reflects increased responsibilities or achievements in role.As a result, highly competitive environment where being 'in' with senior management is the way to gain promotion, rather than what you deliver in terms of results, value to company.

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...
