Pros

Great work life balance. Funny and thoughtful CEO, Good work and very stable. Excellent benefits. Great people to work with.

Cons

Tech stack could be dated if not in right department. Upward mobility could be limited but that depends on your luck if you're in the right department. Slow paced unless if you enjoy it. Not the highest pay in the industry.

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...
