Pros

fair compensation for average performers, great bonuses for top performers. Lots of opportunity to grow, develop and contribute. The best bosses are passionate, and will demand a high level of performance-- and it will be rewarded. Effort is good, but not as good as actually getting results. The scope of the company is so great, that if you are open to different areas, relocation, etc, and do what it takes to meet goals and contribute--the rewards are great.

Cons

There are politics to deal with, and sometimes "flavor of the month" can get frustrating. These downsides are minor in comparison to the many positive aspects.

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...
