Pros

Good culture and hours. People like working here and tackling big issues. Not an evil bank

Cons

Pay is lower than industry, priorities leave many teams out in the cold, and the balance of travel between business units often leave those who build out of opportunities to network with coworkers and very long commutes into workplaces.

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...
