Pros

Excellent brand and company values, good base salary and benefits if you can find them. Keep smiling and you will be fine.

Cons

Aggressive brutal and selfish senior management, if your face fits your ok - either that or if you keep nodding and don't have an opinion unless its the right opinion you will also be fine. All depends upon which business line you join. Everyman for themselves with lots of corporate ladder climbers all saying the right thing to the right person. Such a large organisation slow to deliver on plans or make any changes.

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...
