Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
Interview was based on behavorial/situational style. Always use the STAR method when preparing interview answers. The position was being downgraded from a Consultant to a contrator. This is a common factor at Amex when budgets are being revised. The entire interview was filled with questions. No time to learn the personal side of interviewers/interview. Amex Culture is wonderful if you have a great management team.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
Went through my school and received the interview opportunity. These were two 45 minute interviews. Two cases total, 20 minutes each. Started with a brief run though of their background, then I was asked to run though my resume quickly. Next, I started on a case, both were about market penetration with a card service.
The interviewers did not express much emotion so you couldn't tell if you were doing well or not.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
Positive experience talking to all 6 (!) of the AmEx employees I met with via phone and in person. Everyone was motivated, enthusiastic, and sharp. The one on ones were more collaborative conversations than firing squad line ups with endless questions.
Several employees even used the phrase "when you work here." I left the interview psyched to hear from them.
But it's over 2 months later and HR never contacted me. The HR contacts were from a completely disorganized - couldn't get my name right in the emails, didn't even tell me what specific group I was speaking to, had the main contact's name wrong - consulting firm hired by AmEx. Complete failure on their part to communicate well and follow up.
While the team I met with was great, the HR department left me completely disappointed in the experience.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Huge building swarming with people doing analytics. Very difficult to see how one would make a contribution...even the people interviewing me had a difficult time describing that they contributed or even their departments. Friendly people, but seemed lost.

Did online application and a few days later received a call from HR for a phone interview. The phone interview was conducted by hr and it was a set of behavior questions. At the end of the interview i was invited to visit the office for an interview. The in person interview consisted of a panel of two persons. The questions consisted of experience questions and personalty type questions. The interview lasted about 20-30 minutes. At the end of the interview i was told that i would hear from them the next day. I actually heard back from them just two hours later with an offer.
