Pros

Good culture and environment with really nice people. Salary is very good, very fair. Exec level team is innovative, communicates with employees worldwide, and cares about involvement in the community. Can be proud of company. I switched to Amex from a company that offered none of these things.

Cons

Long term employees should go work at other companies where there is no community involvement, poor exec level team, and unprofessional co-workers. they complain about small things. Sometimes it's slow, bureacratic and hard to move things forward.

Pros

* Approachable leadership team who are willing to listen * Consistent with the messages they deliver across the business * Work life balance *Professionalism

Cons

*leadership team can be quite 'clicky' across different business units- which sends the message it is who you know, not what you know that is important to get a promotion.
