Interviewed Dec 2011 in Phoenix, AZ (took 2 weeks)
Phone interview went well. I thought the in person interview went well. They said they would contact me in two weeks to let me know. TWO WEEKS! Then AmEx never contacted me only for making it necessary for me to call them in 2.5 weeks. They apologized saying they found someone more qualified. Not very responsible in their follow up.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in West Valley City, UT (took a day)
the interview was not so different from other customer service interview as along as asking personal experience Interview question. They ask your behavior side of the question and the ethical relation questions however, they did not ask anything else other than those. In terms of technical questions or logical based analytic questions were not asked.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Phoenix, AZ (took 5 days)
Applied online which included a personality and skills test that took about an hour to complete. About a week later received a call to set up a phone interview, after that a one on one interview with the hiring person. She asked about my past experiences (why I left, why am I the best for the job, why AMEX type of questions), toughest question was, "you have an irate customer and you cannot transfer to a supervisor or another rep, what do you do?", I answered I would hear the customer out so that they can let their frustration out then explain why the situation occurred and offer a solution, always staying calm and professional and moving the call forward so we don't dwell on the problem but the solution.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 2+ weeks)
First interviewer asked traditional questions as expected, plus had to demonstrate the ability to think on my feet. Second interview was more of a conversation, with interview questions, but felt more relaxed, even though it was more detailed. Turnaround time for decision was quick - found out within 2 days. Receipt of offer with salary details came within a week after that. Very impressive (worked for a company in the past that took a LONG time to let you know status - and even slower if you weren't being considered).
