Pros

Good collaborative attittude at all levels - people are out to help each other Work / life balance is excellent Intellectually stimulating

Cons

Organisationally complex - not always clear who owns what relationship, who makes decisions, whose BU are we optimising for Informational vortex - there is a vast set of knowledge and experience, but no central portal for sharing it. You just have to find out who is the right person to ask - and sometimes you don't get there!

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...
