Pros

The company (American Express) has much less drama than many others I hear about, sane reasonable people, work-life balance (aka 40-50 hours a week depending on job, and typically more towards 40).

Cons

Like any big company, change is slow. I also think there should be more investment in infrastructure (from both technical and people).

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...
