Pros

Great benefits and work life balance 23 paid vacation days + 9 bank holidays! Perks: free access to most museums in NYC with your employee ID Great training and speaker opportunitities A very "nice" company to work for - and relatively easy to lateral across different business units

Cons

Can be difficult to get promoted, and can require several lateral moves (5-6 years later) Can be quite political and hierarchical, depending on business units

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...
