Pros

Great brand and company to have on your resume Good family paid time off If your leader(s) and team is great, you'll have a good experience. Very easy to move around the company and try something new, as long as your boss has your back. Smart and hard working individuals

Cons

Very political. Colleagues won't hesitate to throw you under the bus when they get a chance. Usually it's, who do we blame vs lets fix this problem and move on from it. Competitive environment As most people has mentioned on here, pay is below par for NYC. Work will get monotonous. All the interesting and good ideas have been done already. And there's little appetite to try something new. Too much time spent creating power point slides. Very slow moving since there are so many levels that need to get approval. Used to have good work life balance but not so much anymore since the company has gone more lean.

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...
