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.
