I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at American Express in Feb 2013
Interview
It's a fairly simple interview process. I submitted my resume through the career center and the Amex website and got selected for a first round interview.
The first round interview was 2-45 minute behavioral with some situational questions. I got a call in less than 24 hours for final round where they flew me out to NYC to participate in a Super Day. They only had me do two 2-30 minute behavioral interviews that were a little more situational this time. It was really casual and not intense at all. The interviewers are really nice and make you feel comfortable.
I got a call 48 hours later for an offer, which I accepted.

Question 1
We launched a new marketing campaign, and profitability went down even though sales went up. What happened? Is it ever okay for that to happen?
The interview process was fairly structured and focused on behavioral and company-specific questions. Interviewers asked about leadership style, how you communicate with different stakeholders, and how you contribute to a team. There were also questions about the business itself, such as your favorite credit card and why, how American Express makes money, and how you would market Amex products to small business owners. Overall, it felt like they were assessing both cultural fit and basic understanding of the company’s value proposition.
It was in-person, two-people, general questions, some specfific questions on how you would apporach a campaign, They were nice, lots of people interviewing the same day. But that was the last round, before that it was a online screening.
Il processo di selezione è stato ben strutturato e organizzato in tre fasi: un colloquio iniziale con HR focalizzato sulla motivazione e la conoscenza dell’azienda, seguito da un business case individuale da svolgere in una settimana, e infine un colloquio tecnico con il manager del team Marketing. Ho apprezzato la puntualità e la chiarezza nella comunicazione. Durante i colloqui, mi sono sentita ascoltata e rispettata, anche se alla fine non ho ricevuto un’offerta.
