Pros

Good salary and high bonus starting from 12%. Possibility to learn a lot inside.

Cons

Investment on external learning are scarce, they exist only on papers. Company has gone nut for diversity and inclusion starting silently to consider candidates and promotions based on race/gender/orientation rather than merit. Executive management has created a strong inequality foundation in sake of marketing the diversity and inclusion outside.

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...
