Pros

Good people, flexible workhours and good 'work/life' balance. Quite a young company, with lots of fresh-thinking employees. Good learning ground before you grow up and get a real job!

Cons

Compensation and benefits misaligned with industry averages Poor middle-management SVP level. Extremely political and inability to make clear decisions or provide quality leadership.

Pros

work life balance is great, company really cares about employees. leadership within the company is strong and most of senior folks are Amex veterans. Definitely high quality talent.

Cons

Primay a relationship based culture. Most of the folks coming from outside the company at mid or senior management do not stay long.
