Pros

Very people centric organization, you can build a career here with the right sponsorship. It is encouraged to look internally for roles that enable professional growth

Cons

Slow moving or you can say that every decision is very thoughtfully made which leads to lags and delays. If you do not have the right sponsors in the company, you cannot move forward.

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...
