Pros

Amex is full of lifers and the company culture encourages moving around jobs to learn new things and find what best suits you, so it's a great place to go if you're looking for somewhere to spend many years at.

Cons

It can be very political. Ratings are driven by the loudest VP in the room come review time, and you can be affected by VPs battling for scope in your day to day work.
