Pros

Work Life Balance, Brand, Kind Culture. This is a place where you can breeze through work, have a job versus a career and still have a great brand on your resume.

Cons

Pay, Politics, Passive Aggressive Culture. The longer you stay, the more you are underpaid unless you play the politics and get promotions.

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...
