      Pros

      * Environment is challenging * Adopt new technologies * Leadership approachable * Insights to all employees with Town halls * Emerging as a in-house IT company * 401K plan is good * Share profits * Help in education

      Cons

      * Internal Politics * Overloaded with work * Promotion is luck, and after pretending brilliant employee with fake applauds * More leaders, less deployers (overburdened with updates, and weekend deployments) * Leadership doesn't feel that people have personal life too * They don't hire people, until delivery affected, while existing employees are depressed * If starting career here, wait for 10-15 years to be promoted as manager only. * No remote option * Don't use get off chair, clearly you have super availability

      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...
