Pros

Opportunity to change career within company Excellent Executive Leadership Flexible work arrangements (but a LOT less flexible than in the past)

Cons

As somebody with tenure, I am very disappointed with direction of the company regarding employee development.. To many mid level managers who do ZILCH. I have no idea HOW they got promoted -- they have no interest in their own employees but only in their "personal brand". It didn't used to be like that -- Management who didn't develop their employees were gone. Amex needs to get back to focusing on developing their people and getting rid of the dead weight (note: those are the folks who can spin spin spin but never actually produce. They are easy to spot of anybody bothered to look.)

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...
