Pros

Work life balance. Professional development. Culture and brand. All in all, it's a great place. There are a lot of smart people that work at the HQ (NYC), but outside of HQ I wouldn't say it's above average. Most people who move within the company from the field to HQ, don't last very long. But if you start out in NYC, then it's a great place to develop. You can move anywhere in the company every 2-3 years, which is a huge benefit. The culture encourages movement, so you can get a very broad experience.

Cons

You don't make any money until your a second level vp (band 50)

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...
