Pros

Good work life balance, beautiful office location, reasonable benefits, great people and highly talented workforce. Excellent city wide perks (museums/parks). Brand cache.

Cons

Emphasis is on consistently bringing in untested external talent rather than recognizing internal high performers for promotion. Poor track record of placing women in senior tech positions despite the relatively large population of females in the technology realm at lower levels. Also force ranks performers to meet a curve without considering real team performance.

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...
