Pros

Excellent culture, employees are truly valued. Amazing benefits and company truly goes above and beyond. Great WLB. The pay is very strong with more cash heavy comp. Comparable to Big tech these days. The tech also is evolving very quickly for the better.

Cons

The usual regulatory and compliance heavy processes which is nothing surprising for a big financial services corporation.

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...
