      Pros

      Good pay Kind people Thoughtful leaders Prioritizes customers and what is best for them

      Cons

      Red tape red tape red tape Culture of passing the buck when something is difficult Legal and compliance don’t allow for strong marketing (EG. can’t use the word great in materials) Need to prove every marketing claim beyond what is reasonable Contracts take years and years to complete Promotions are rare Stack ranking favors those with the longest tenure NY office is weirdly cold and unfriendly, people keep their heads down and don’t interact

      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...
