Pros

Slow growth environment but lately the work pace has moved up quite a bit almost to an annoying level, due to overzealous PMs being pushed by the top tier executives with aggressive projects and moonshots. Overall still a solid company to work with, but might not want to stay for more than 5 years.

Cons

Slow paced growth Orthodox work culture Office Politics Tech/Business division

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...
