Pros

Solid company; Exceptional brand; Highly focused on Service and Customer Experience; Global opportunities. Smart, talented workforce. Generally a solid, positive work culture (but varies from business unit to business unit).

Cons

Company is in a transitional phase; Has experienced a lot of talent flight in the past two to three years. Lost some key Co-Brand partnerships (Costco; JetBlue). A major (and costly) push to be a more financially inclusive brand expanding into the Prepaid Card space has largely failed to produce sustainable results or profitable contribution to the bottom line. But changer and transition can also create opportunities. 2016 may be a challenging year for this firm.

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...
