Pros

Not a lot of pressure. Some bright people. Great brand. Performs well every year.

Cons

Zero innovation. Super political, with patronage and butt kissing the way to get promoted. Performance appraisals are a real disincentive. Compared to other organisations I've worked it's a complacent, arrogant organisation that is slow to change and managed by people afraid to wreck their career by challenging the status quo. Don't work here if you want excitement!

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...
