Pros

Great work life balance; some of the most competent, creative managers around. People really care about giving actionable feedback at year-end and throughout the year.

Cons

Salaries are, I'm told, significantly lower than our counterparts at Citibank. I think you are really paying for the work life balance in this aspect. Health plan leaves a little something to be desired; we have a PPO (great) with a high-deductible health plan (not so great).

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...
