Pros

If you work at American Express, you have lots of opportunities to move to different groups within the company after a few years - in fact it is encouraged. Company focuses a lot on employee development, there is very good work life balance, the hours are not too bad and the people for the most part are decent and talented. The vacation policy is decent, the location is ok, it is not a very cutthroat place compared to some other corporate or financial services organizations. The company also invests heavily in philanthropy and in community service and volunteer activities which I enjoyed.

Cons

bureaucratic, corporate, not challenging, slow moving

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...
