Pros

Great work life balance within certain departments. Friendly people. Pay/benefits were pretty good.

Cons

Too much politics. Not enough communication from VP and above to managers. If you're not one of the favorites, you don't get recognized for your hard work. No accountabilty from dept. leaders for their mistakes.

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...
