Interviewed May 2011 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
I was screened through a phone interview first, and then asked to come in twice to meet with various members of the group. Upon leaving the interview I was contacted by phone by my American Express recruiter, who asked me how it had gone, and was able to provide some feedback. Everyone who I spoke with seemed enthusiastic and positive, I had a great impression of the group almost immediately. I was asked background questions about my previous work experience, education, and qualifications. As well as personality and scenario questions relating to my past experiences.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in San Antonio, TX (took 5 days)
Filled out the online application. Got a call from a recruiter after a couple of days who asked standard interview questions. It was generally laid back. She called a couple days for a second phone interview. Went fine. She asked a few geography questions. I was out of state so I don't know if others did one on ones.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
I was part of a financial analyst pipeline - essentially, having come in for a behavioral interview with 2 hiring leaders from different divisions, I was placed on a list of pre-qualified candidates for FA roles across the organization. I came in for one final round interview, meeting with 5 hiring leaders for 30 minutes each. I heard back from the recruiter 3 days later (Friday), and received an offer on the following Monday.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Saint Petersburg, FL (took 6 weeks)
Three interviews: 1)Phone with recruiter, 2)1:1 with Hiring Manager, 3)Panel with immediate peer manager team. Interviews with the recruiter and hiring manager went well. The panel interview was very challenging due to location of the interview. The interview was held in a computer training lab. Due to this, two interviewers were situated behind me, so it was impossible for me to maintain eye-contact with everyone. There was always at least one person behind me. Additionally, some of the questions by the panel made me wonder if I was interviewing for the same position as I had with the hiring manager. I believe the area of opportunity is interview skill training for any associate who has to interview a candidate.
Some additional details. I was informed parking would be validated. For my first interview, parking could not be validated because the parking service is not an in-house service. Also, upon seeking out feedback regarding non-selection, I encountered significant difficulty and ultimately took 4 weeks to receive the most minimal of feedback.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
I was approached beginning of July 2011 thru LinkedIn by AllegisTalent2 recruiter for American Express. He asked me if I am interested to join Talent Pool at AMEX and we scheduled by e-mail time for an interview. It turned out that there was two recruiters and after 45 minutes I was accepted into internal talent pool.
Late July he approached me with a position, I was interested in that position and phone interview was scheduled with hiring manager (he was based in India). After 1 Hr interview hiring manager was very happy with me and ordered other interview in NYC HQ (where I supposed to work). I met with 4 people out there - initial recruiter, Amex HR manager, recruiter's manager and Amex director who was doing peer review. Everyone was happy, my interviews tend to run long and I was under impression that I will receive an offer. After 3 weeks I was told that position was filled by an internal candidate from India who was working directly with Hiring Manager and job was moved there.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
Spoke to the head of the Purchasing of Finance department which was good to be able to ask questions straight to the head instead of going through people. Some questions were about University and why I took my Economics course and then why I would be a good fit for the of Finance Analyst. There was the ability to move around the company which was good, but most of the positions required to have a Masters degree.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Asked me working experience. However, the job description the HR gave to me was not clear.
HR didn't deliver some msg to senior manager who interviewed me later. It seems that they are lacking communication, kinda made me not know what to say during the phone interview.
