Pros

-Colleagues are generally smart, and great to work with. -People can move laterally or post for promotions. Interview process determines the outcome of postings. -Leaders in the company are generally very reasonable and smart. -After a few years, it can feel like a small place.

Cons

-Different groups have vastly different cultures -Salaries can be on the lower side. The company prides itself on providing work-life balance, but when you are an overachiever.....it's hard to see the balance part as much

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...
