Pros

Flexibility in most areas. Great health and child care benefits

Cons

Growth is based on networking. Sometimes leaders push to promote their friends and family even though they add the job req on paper. You will interview for a job and hear from others who will be chosen and that actually happens. Pay is low compared to other companies. Job security is minimal. You are unable to plan long life events like buying a home or cat

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...
