Pros

Competitive pay, promotion opportunities, benefits, flexible work arrangements

Cons

Frequent layoffs, increasing workloads for existing employees, moving more and more jobs to India, employee ranking/alignments, required to give 5-10% of staff "needs improvement" ratings even if undeserved.

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...
