Pros

Above average number of vacation days - around 5 weeks (including standard holidays such as Christmas, etc. if you choose to take it off) At the upper management levels they seem to care about the employees, but that does not always filter down to the lower levels - it depends on the VP & director.

Cons

Data environment is constantly changing, fragmented and scattered between various platforms, some of which are in-house built and difficult to navigate and develop on - very little documentation & difficult to find information and expertise on access issues, etc. Very little job security - they often do mass lay-offs, unceremoniously eliminating large swaths of employees (even people with decades of service with the company.)

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...
