Pros

Wide range of opportunities to explore different fields in software engineering. Compensation and benefits are also pretty decent.

Cons

It's really up to your manager on if you can even explore these opportunities, so you *have* to be on their good side. Even then, it may not be in your manager's best interest to lose you from their team, so it's really a luck of the draw sort of situation. Also you might be required to work weekends and holidays.

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...
