Pros

Emphasis on work-life balance Focus on employee development - lots of trainings, lunch & learns, etc. "Nice" culture - managers (for the most part) don't yell at, or put down, their direct reports

Cons

Collaborative culture - spend majority of time in meetings "aligning" and "gaining buy in", instead of completing projects quickly Promotions are determined based on time in role, as opposed to quality of work. Little incentive to be a high performer. More important to be liked than to do good work Senior leaders are great, but too many incompetent middle managers

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...
