Pros

Good work/life balance, work is challenging. Employees are encouraged to pursue opportunities and develop their careers. Frequent feedback is provided in the form of anonymous surveys and management to employee interaction. Depending on the Business Unit, employee metrics for measuring success are reasonable and clearly defined.

Cons

Depending on the Business Unit, it can be somewhat to extremely difficult to accomplish objectives and feel challenged by the work. Both software and hardware systems are aged and can be unreliable. More "traditional" ways of thinking often hamper fresher, more efficient ideas. Depending on the Business Unit, politics and territorialism can make it very difficult to accomplish objectives, and favoritism can play a stronger role than quality in determining promotion and/or recognition.

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...
