Pros

AXP has a lot of smart people, as well a very friendly atmosphere with no sense of competitiveness. Good work / life balance

Cons

AXP has lower compensation than industry standards, as it is often viewed as a great training ground for leaders, thus not needing a necessarily high compensation in return for leadership and industry experience
