      Pros

      Company is great with being a contributor to the communities we live in. They have great company benefits and company events.

      Cons

      Base pay for IT personnel is below market. Difficult to maintain work/life balance. Didn't feel valued as there's no consistency across the company in how people are rewarded. Your work experience depends on what organization you work in because some organizations have great leaders and others don't. Didn't feel like the "bad" leaders were held accountable for anything. No formal way to provide upward feedback.

      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...
