Pros

Flexibility, good corporate culture, ability to move job functions. Overall would recommend Amex to those interested in cards, marketing, payment space.

Cons

Pay. Not convinced the most ambitious people join Amex due to low pay and good work life balance. Senior positions become quite political.

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...
