Pros

Strong culture of values and character. Benefits are reasonable. Most leaders are fairly approachable and willing to listen

Cons

Misalignment of leadership with no clear direction across the business units. Unwilling to invest in the critical tech upgrades needed to jettison the business into truly best in class performance

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...
