Pros

Strong core business model. Constant thirst to innovate...

Cons

Over the last few years, there is tremendous amount of volatility with in the firm. Political agenda is at rise, with poorer and poorer display of leadership abilities among middle-senior management. With in the technology organization, there is too much change happening all the time, with no time and room to hold any one accountable for their actions.

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...
