Pros

A top-tier consumer brand with great products and opportunities for interesting work; Smart & friendly colleagues; good opportunities for internal movement (especially for lateral moves); great work/life balance, strong benefits and perks for colleagues; leadership is focused on professional development and colleague growth

Cons

Big corporate comes with standard organizational challenges; getting things done often requires numerous stakeholders across teams; colleagues had sense that pay not always consistent with primary competitors, but company seems to try and make up for it with other benefits; Progression to VP and above levels can be challenging/political

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...
