Pros

Company isn't kidding when it promotes its work-life balance Smart people - many people are hired directly from their MBA degrees

Cons

- slow pace of getting things done, in exchange for work-life balance - bureaucracy and too many layers - promotion is dependent on team growth or if someone leaves - lack of ambition all around, so not a place to be if you want fast/merit-based advancement

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...
