Pros

Big company, well-recognized brand, rich history, nice downtown NYC office and convenient location, pay is good but not great. Weekends off. Lots of people "work" from home on Fridays.

Cons

Game of Thrones level politics, complete with factions, cliques, alliances. It's the worst at the VP level - those trying to make it, those trying to keep it. It's a huge distraction to the people who are simply trying to do a good job, work smart, improve our products, and do what's right for the customers.

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...
