Pros

Good work life balance (although that's changing) good opportunities to make your own career - changing jobs within the company is easy. The people you work with are generally smart and ambitious management, especially recent hires, seem to want to take the company further into the digital world.

Cons

While moving from job to job is relatively easy, moving up involves a lot of politics and game playing salaries are adequate, but significantly lower than other bank competitors (i.e. Chase, Citi) technology is atrocious

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...
