      Pros

      Prestige. Good name to have in the CV. The general culture is conducive to team-work, work/life balance and a certain organisational will to win in the marketplace.

      Cons

      Slow to react to market conditions (i.e. pay rates). The place is rife with bureaucracy! But that is perhaps common to these F100 firms. Getting things done is a big headache

      Pros

      American Express has been a phenomenal company to work for, the past 2.5 years. The emphasis on raising and developing employee talent internally is tremendous. It is a great place to work, especially when looking at the work/life balance component.

      Cons

      There aren't too many bad things about American Express. It's almost like the ideal Fortune 100 company.
