Pros

The flexible work arrangements is one of the best parts of working here. Alot of people cant take advantage of them though, so Im not sure if other groups are as flexible as mine. Everyone is pretty polite and easy to get a long with. No cursing or hostile banking environments..

Cons

very polictical and very slow to get things done. Everything needs to get approved by someone at a higher level and higher level and so on. To get anything accomplished or pushed through takes a very long time and everyone needs to have their say. Its very consensus focused. Not a driving organization.

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...
