Pros

Pay checks do arrive regularly. Until relatively recently there was an exceptional health insurance plan available, and retirement was reasonable - even expected.

Cons

The neverending careerists and finaglers - the users and ill-trained managers. The constant fear of outsourcing, and even now, 'in-sourcing' - as a global business there's really no good reason, according to management, to maintain their costly US based employees. The threat is always, always there - and as a result, new hires treat the place as a slightly more high level fast food job.

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...
