Pros

They paid well, had good benefits, and you didn't have to work over 40 hours.

Cons

Typical day involved hours of meetings as a developer. People would take phone calls from spouses during conference calls. Lots of politics due to contracting companies.

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...
