Pros

company strives to make a good experience overall, but message doesn't seem to filter down to individual teams.

Cons

Constant talking down. Unclear communication but plenty of borderline insulting comments when you ask questions/seek guidance. No thought or empathy for peers or internal clients being served. Plenty of talk of requesting feedback - but its not really wanted and it may actually harm you. Rewarded with passive aggression if praised to leadership by internal clients, Achievements fabricated for team favorites to get internal awards and lots of sabotage.

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...
