Pros

Amount of time off given to employees is above the industry standard - just know that you pay for it with a lower overall compensation package.

Cons

Senior management is out of touch with the needs of the customer as well as the needs of employees. Decision making and innovation are slow due to a culture which prevents employees from being empowered to make decisions with out excessive alignment and do their jobs.

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...
