Pros

flexible work schedule, vacation time, work life/balance

Cons

To political and much beaucracy - Although efforts are somewhat rewarded and recognized, it has always come down to who you know and how much you brown nose that will get you ahead. They keep adjusting pay bands which has kept and will keep many positions from ever reaching the "At Salary" range, which is one of the reasons why people are and have been so disgruntled about their pay for many years.

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...
