Pros

The opportunity to work with diverse cultures. We routinely speak with people in India, England and Mexico. We regularly work with people in New York and Florida.

Cons

Everywhere there are people in jobs they aren't qualified for. Usually it's because the organization or job has changed a lot but management is too afraid to get rid of the people that haven't kept up. People were promoted before they were ready. We've outsourced jobs to very unqualified people.

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...
