Pros

Most people are motivated to do well. You also get to meet a lot of people working at such a large cross functional company

Cons

It takes a while to get things done and innovate, so you need to be patient. You also need to apply for positions to move around internally, so you need to continue to do well in your role so you get a positive recommendation from your team

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...
