Pros

Smart people, willingness to innovate, and the chance to move into a new role after 1.5 years. Employees tend to stay at Amex, once they make it past the 3 year mark.

Cons

Delays with project approval, formal corporate culture, lack of opportunites for Sr. Managers to be promoted to Director.
