Pros

Technology is just 1-2 years behind the current trend. Folks at engineer levels are good techie resources but most of the coding is done by junior level folks.

Cons

Too much flamboyance - engineers talks more than code. Culture is top - down - very heavy at the top(unnecessary hierarchy which is good for nobody). If your manager doesn't like you - you should be looking for a new job. Too much favoritism and relationships - it's more important whom you know rather what you know.

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...
