Pros

American Express truly lives by its brand values and holds itself and leaders to a high standard of conduct. Opportunities to learn and grow as the company goes through a revitalization.

Cons

The company can be a bit slow to make decisions. Need to develop consensus on many levels puts a big burden of constantly working the matrix.

Pros

Blue box values. They promote work/life balance, they try to life the values. Flexible schedule. Excellent opportunity to learn and receive training.

Cons

Performance management is not standard, that depends on how your leader represents you during the evaluation; however at the end your leader do not have influence in your review. There is a lot duplication on work depending on the department you work for.
