Pros

Still a recognized brand but the way they are going will not be in the near future...

Cons

Where should I start.... - have been with the company for 6 years and it has had a layoff every year. They are the WORST company who has no clue about resource panning - suck up and get ahead - guess what you will be left with the loud mouths, the suck ups and all the smart people will leave !

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...
