Pros

Great benefits; great opportunities to be a part of a global company and global projects; great brand and name recognition; lots of on-the-spot recognition and 'gifts' for employees; diversity efforts are very important and are not just the 'flavor of the month'; lots of women in leadership roles

Cons

political posturing; huge hierarchy/beaurocracy--sometimes takes forever for projects/ideas to be realized (if at all); lot of favoritism related to promotion--not always the most competent person is the one chosen; layoffs common; people in senior management don't always communicate information like they promised to; working 24x7 is tough to balance work/life; don't have childcare arrangements

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...
