Pros

Great work life balance. Lots of flexibility, working from home is quite common. Ability to move across the business and geographies.

Cons

The company has lost its way. Leadership lacks a vision or strategy for how to grow the business and weather the changing landscape. Lack of innovation and real aversion to risk taking will ensure that Amex won't survive the long run. It's too bad. It used to be a great place to work. Nowadays it's a talent drain.

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...
