Pros

Some things work really well - diversity, smart colleagues, truly global business, strong brand. Interesting business model. Some wise executive leaders. Many out of touch.

Cons

Insular, departmental focus. Passive-aggressive culture, managing upwards. Most executives having difficult time with the radical changes in business and the marketplace.

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...
