Pros

Training for people to structure thought more effectively and apply that to real business situations for mutual benefit and growth

Cons

Extremely political environment that causes people to behave in a way that commercially is not beneficial to either the individual or the company. This behaviour would not be accepted in more commercial organisations.

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...
