Pros

Challenging and interesting problems. Large majority of people are collaborative team players. Smart peers. Career moves through different groups are encouraged. Strength of brand and reputation. Company is self-aware on attention to people/talent/work-life balance - questionable on whether awareness has driven change.

Cons

Extremely consensus-driven & matrixed. Lots of churn for little forward motion. For a company based on information (underwriting, consumer/merchant demographics, transaction information, etc.), data is extremely hard to access and users have low levels of fluency. Probably still overstaffed by 20%.

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...
