Pros

Direct leadership is great, and there are decent learning opportunities. Your direct leaders will usually have your back and go to bat for you as best they can. Peers are wonderful as well.

Cons

Collapsing under its own weight and arbitrary processes. No drive to innovate. Executive leadership is fostering a toxic culture encouraging people to come in while sick while continuously piling work onto teams struggling to get by. Wages are stagnant.

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...
