Pros

Great people and good work life balance and benefits overall

Cons

Low pay compared to competitors and will have you working two jobs with no possibility of title change or base pay increase, zero room for growth. Current environment is far too competitive to move up at the company. It is harder to get a job internally than to find a new job externally. WAY too many hoops to jump through with the current internal interview process. They encourage you to move around but make it nearly impossible to grow upwards. The application and interview process for internal candidates is absurd. There needs to be a possibility of a promotion for each role to reward hard work. Losing amazing talent left and right because of this issue.

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...
