People are great - smart, nice, talented, lots of integrity Generous vacation time

Cons

Salary is not great You spend too much time bldg PowerPoint presentations and not enough time adding "real" value to the company Pretty political environment - a lot is about who you know, how you position things, and what "wins" you grab for yourself

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...
