Pros

Flexibility to work at home and understanding of work life balance.

Cons

Continuous cycle of cutbacks and layoffs without really reengineering of processes. Just expected the few remaining to do more with less. Significant turnover in the good senior leaders and what's left are those that were mediocre senior mgmt. limited opportunity once you reach first level VP if you aren't in NY.

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...
