Pros

Time off policy is great - better than most other companies out there. At the manager level, you get 28 days of PTO (inclusive of all holidays) walking in the door. There's also a very generous 401k match plus profit sharing (last year was around 10% of base pay).

Cons

Salary levels seem to be slightly lower than similar positions elsewhere. The health plan is a high deductible plan with an HSA which can be a big downer if you have something major one year. I don't think the premiums are low enough to justify the decrease in benefits.

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...
