Pros

Incredible benefits packages. Tuition reimbursement available immediately after hire. On site child care in certain locations. Flexible work arrangements.

Cons

Leadership and staffing is very global, so be prepared to work with teams in India, UK, and Argentina...a lot. Stack ranking is in full effect so ensure your performance is top notch. The company's human capital footprint is shrinking. Layoffs happen almost yearly and are swift and immediate.

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...
