Pros

American Express has one of the best employee benefits and very flexible work environment

Cons

Due to the flat and lean structure, it is very hard to get any promotion. What's more internal promotion, there is a very little increment as compared to outsider who join American Express for the same position. Increment is also not very significant even if you do a really good job versus another colleague who only does a 80% job well.

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...
