Pros

Great benefits package, (one of the) best salary in Madrid, relaxed attitude (e.g. re working clothes), nice relationship with bosses who are quite laid-back and friend-like. I liked working there!

Cons

The rules were getting stricter and stricter, and didn't always make sense. We were put under quite some pressure with that. Some of the teamleaders I had were useless, and mostly let the seniors (sub-ordinates) do all their work, but took the praise for it.

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...
