American Express Interview Questions & Reviews in New York, NY

Interview Details – Interview #1: Applied through school's career website and got an email 3 weeks or so later for a phone call. Was extremely nice, thoroughly explained the role, and answered all questions. Told me he wanted to set me up with the director of team to meet in person. Had interview a week later wih him and director (30 minutes with him to answer all questions [he wanted me to ask lots of questions so make sure o prepare] and then 1 hr with boss lady director who apologized for "grilling" me but I didn't feel like I was being "grilled". Mostly behavioral questions and walk me through your résumé type things.

It didn't work out for me and 1.5 weeks later the guy said I was 1 of 2 finalists but they went with the other. He surprisingly and kindly recommended me to another team looking to fill a similar role.

Interview #2: Got an email from the director of that team the same day I heard my fate and a senior manager reached out to me to set up a phone call. Spoke to her right after the weekend and told me to come in to meet her, another sr manager, and the director the next day. 30 min slots with each - time flew by (a good sign). They had prepared some behavioral questions to ask me. Very easygoing people. I had an extremely positive view of the people, culture, and position after talking to all of them.

Interview Details – I interviewed for an entry level Travel Research Apprentice positions with American Express. After successfully completing two phone screens with five people (which took over 3 months), I was invited to meet with a manager and a team leader at the New York headquarters. My excitement at the prospect of launching my career at AmEx quickly faded as the experience was awful. The man who interviewed me was clearly unprepared and his comments were contradictory. As I am a recent college graduate, he kept mentioning my lack of experience (for this entry level position) and at the same time he said the position had previously been filled by an intern. After the interview this manager said I would hear something within two weeks, but many more weeks passed without any follow-up with a hiring decision. It was only after I placed a call to the office that I received a decline e-mail. There was nothing constructive or respectful about this process and based on my experience I can’t believe their treatment of employees is any better.

I did not get an offer.
