Pros

American Express has excellent benefits and in most areas a good work life balance. Pay is also comparable to others in the industry. Since the company is constantly changing, innovating etc. it is never boring. Always something new to learn if your given the opportunity.

Cons

Sometimes it is way too political, more about who you know, then what you know. American Express needs to develop a fairer review process and ensure that areas provide fair opportunity to all to succeed.

Strong leadership. Exciting projects. If you're driven and put in the work you'll have opportunities grow.

Cons

Short term struggles with current enterprise cost cutting. Prior investment haven't paid off and loss of strategic partners is creating anxiety amongst employees in understanding ongoing strength.
