      Pros

      Work Life balance is what they preach here, but it really depends on what division you work in and on your leader. In a previous role, I stayed late consistently and hardly had work life balance.

      Cons

      It's all about who you know and favortism. I am sometimes surprised at promotions and wonder how that person did it. There more people you brownnose with, and have backing you, the better well positioned you are to get a job promotion.

      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...
