Pros

Prestige. Good name to have in the CV. The general culture is conducive to team-work, work/life balance and a certain organisational will to win in the marketplace.

Cons

Slow to react to market conditions (i.e. pay rates). The place is rife with bureaucracy! But that is perhaps common to these F100 firms. Getting things done is a big headache

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...
