Pros

Working from home on Fridays. Coffee chat culture. Not much stress/pressure but job can be boring. Flex days are given.

Cons

The culture is very cliquey. Office politics is more important than one’s work ethic. Lack of support from HR. Lack of support from colleagues. Terrible on boarding process. Huge if not major disconnect from upper management to lower management - plenty of miscommunication.

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...
