Pros

Many opportunities to learn new skills. The company encourages cross-functional moves - marketing to finance; sales to marketing; risk to marketing etc... Teamwork is encouraged.

Cons

Company is often slow to make decisions. Constant organizational changes make it difficult to get continuity with leaders that really know you and your skills. Lack of adequate people, technology and financial resources impedes innovation.

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...
