Pros

great work/life balance, people very much respect that you have a life outside of work, large company that one would think would allow for lots of movement within the company

Cons

mangagement is quite passive aggressive and takes too long to make a decision. Some groups are better than others at promoting their employees. With employees moving around every 2 years, it can be difficult to establish any real knowledge or team cohesiveness.

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...
