Pros

Global company with rotational opportunities. Great brand and products. Some very smart people. Work-life balance is good overall, depends on how much the employee wants to engage.

Cons

Some pockets of politics and favor driven management, difficult to know before you join a team whether you're getting into one. Relatively poor compensation. Career advancement opportunities in some cases (not all) depend on loyalty and favoritism more than contribution and potential.

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...
