      Pros

      Company environment is extremely professional yet work shift flexible and business casual at most times. Workforce is professional, experienced, and well educated. In good times, pay and bonuses are above average.

      Cons

      Management culture is mostly resistant to positive change and innovation in the area of information security and regulation compliance unless facing legal scrutiny. In difficult economic times, layoffs, pay cuts, and budget cuts are rampant and affect mostly the lower two thirds of the pay scale.

      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...
