Pros

Flexibility. If you need to go to a doctor's appointment or leave early on a Friday, it's not big deal.

Cons

It is a huge company, and you know it. There are meetings to align on how to align. Also, Amex hires really smart and talented people, but I do not think they make the most use of the talent. The biggest challenge I've faced is figuring out how to get something done, which is more about navigating the organization as opposed to thinking through tough problems. Lastly, it takes forever to get anything done.

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...
