Pros

American Express boasts happy, smart colleagues. Though we worked on a complex product that can easily feel boring, the culture made everything fun. If you work in acquisition, it's intense, fast-paced and long hours but the good energy motivates you to push the boundaries. They heavily promote movement across the company.

Cons

Though I would follow the top senior leadership anywhere, the mid-level leaders could use more training, or passion or both. Typical company politics. Your manager has too much say over your promotion worth. Processes take forever.

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...
