Pros

Amex employs Very smart people, has a great culture of info share and collaboration, nice location, good oppy for growth and movement

Some find it to be very political. Those that do well here footer good relationships with peers and senior management. Compensation isn't fabulous, but there are a lot of other benefits that are good.
