Pros

Work-life balance Great people/team Flexibility/Great work from home policy Benefits (401k match)

Cons

Low pay Very political-you will not get promoted if you don't network and set up coffee chats with the right people Very slow decision-making I had a terrible boss who should not have been a people manager, but the rest of the team was great.

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...
