Pros

Excellent Brand; unlimited opportunities to learn; really bright and motivated colleagues; strong vision; market-leading products; recognition of the importance of talent

Cons

Still somewhat political; management conforms to a somewhat "Stepford" standard of behavior that can inhibit creativity and innovation (and opportunties for those who don't fit the mold); matrix too complex and disruptive; gender diversity in senior management still a somewhat elusive goal

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...
