Pros

Easy Commute, Prestigious company, Fun day

Politics, Favoritism, Clicks. All promotions are predictable. Friends of current Directors or VPs are the favored people to get promotions regardless of experience or lack of. Predictions of promotions can be made totally based on the clicks observed.

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...
