Pros

Great working environment. The company is big on is the life and work balance, which was one of my favorite things about working there.

Cons

There's not much room to grow. Strict promotion guidelines. Aside from small bonuses, there isn't a big salary increase every year.

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...
