Interview Details – Interviewed with Recruiter, was very nice and lasted about 30 minutes.

Also, apply your prior experience to the job qualifications, so they see you have had pas "experience" in those fields.
Interview Question – Why do you want to work for American Express? Answer Question
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Gurgaon, Haryana (India) – Reviewed May 22, 2013
Interview Details – Consisted of 2 HR rounds and a technical round. The hiring process is time taking but joinings are prompt. What kills the whole experience though are the salary packages offered, which range from disappointing to outright demeaning. Whats worse is that the arrogant HR department tries to coax you to join at such salaries by playing mind games. Its as if they just want to fill the position by hook or by crook.
Interview Question – Example of a situation where you committed a mistake? Answer Question
Reason for Declining – The stupid 'not more than 30% raise policy'. Packages offered show that recession has hit the company hard and caused a shift from qualitative hiring to quantitative hiring. This justifies the rapid increase in dissatisfied customers venting out their anger on their facebook page. A core luxury services company without quality people, its a sinking ship. They show you the non-existent dream of working for a company like Amex in an attempt to cover up for the meagre compensation packages offered.
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Gurgaon, Haryana (India) – Reviewed Mar 30, 2013
Interview Details – I had three rounds. First, with the junior HR, then the team leader and finally the senior HR after which there was a domain proficiency test and finally, I was given the offer letter which was not at all at par with industry standards and therefore, declined.
Interview Question – None. It was on expected lines. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – They have an archaic HR policy according to which they cannot give a raise of more than 30% above your previous salary no matter what profile you may be hired for. It was so absurd I just could not resist declining it.
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Noida (India) Sep 2008 – Reviewed Jul 15, 2012
Interview Details –
1) It begins with an aptitude test, which is quite customized to the job they hire for.
2) H.R discussion which checks the perception and candidate's commitment.
3) Operations round ; here you would be grilled by your hiring managers to see if you suit them or not. Rather you can be a fit in team plus fit for job.
So, two aspects : team and job, then comes the psychological tests req for job.
Interview Question – Business cases are frequently used and surprise questions related to general knowledge just to divert you. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Negotiation is to project your strengths and convince them how good an asset will y0u be. Salary - it's mostly in a range, you need to press for it, but it's risky to do that
