Pros

American express provides great career progression opportunities; Part of the company culture is to incentivise job rotation every 2/3 years making it a common practice across all seniority levels to change roles, business unit, market. Furthermore the company culture is highly focused on talent development, fairness, work-life balance which makes it a pleasant company to work for.

Cons

As many large organisations in order to ensure year on year growth every few years it goes through substantial reorganisations creating at times a high level of uncertainty around security of job
