Pros

Absolute respoect for the individual and a great diversity base. The company prides itself in looking after the customers like no other, and the actions taken truly are aligned to that. The company looks forward to greater challenges and all are involved.

Cons

Decision making tends to be somewhat slow and based always on consensus.

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...
