Pros

- Clean "Closed loop" data: Really great to work with good quality data for successful campaigns - No compromise on Brand image and quality of work is the best in the industry - Truly customer focused company: Makes working on projects fun and meaningful - Work environment is extremely professional, and a lot of opportunities for mentorship

Cons

- Teams have lots of cliques, if you're not part of one, you are not on the growth track - Very hierarchical, employees are micro-managed - Non-competitive pay (had loads of retention issues) - Pay increases are very slim if any at all - Very political, open conversations between colleagues around pay and growth are discouraged. Grading system between same band employees can be unfair at times, often rewarding someone who is on a prority project vs someone who truly deserves the 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...
