Pros

Nice family - work life balance. Reasonable compensation. If you provide value to the company, appreciation follows.

Cons

Sometimes, the promotion/hiring decisions for leadership positions are terrible. Buddy system works. Right now, I am not interested in leadership level positions but this could be an issue for me in the future.

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...
