Pros

- Easy going for NY (depends on the department) - Opportunity to move around in the company and do different things.

Cons

- Pay is not great. - Lots of people working long hours doing pointless things. - Sometimes the number of hours worked matters more then what you do. - To advance it matters more how long you have been with the company rather then what you have done or how smart you are.

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...
