Pros

Impressive benefits package, job flexibility, the ability to work in many aspects of the company

Cons

There have been many layoffs and they don't seem to be very targeted, more like "we need to drop X% of costs." It sometimes feels like the company is so focused on being diverse that not being a minority is a liability.

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...
