The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY)
Interview
I interviewed 3 different times with American express. The steps may vary between teams/departments. Before the first round its a phone screening.
The first round in all interviews consisted of 2-3 30 minutes interviews with different mangers. Second round usually is an other 30 minutes interview with a director, but ai was able to do this over the phone. I had overall a great experience speaking the teams and the recruiters/coordinators. Just be patient at times, you might mot get any feedback, but if you make a good impression a manger could pass your resume to a team member that might have a position.
The interview consisted of behavioral questions, going over your experience and knowledge. Some technical questions if you pass the first round.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at American Express in Feb 2024
Interview
I spoke with HR in February and was told I would hear back on next steps within a week. I finally heard back one month later that they wanted me to speak with the hiring manager. The hiring manager was not engaging as he was mostly looking to identify weaknesses.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY) in Sep 2022
Interview
Applied thru Linkedin and a recruiter reached out 2 days later. We set up a phone screen which went great and just minutes afterwards, she set me up with 3 first round interviews. All 3 were a mix of behavioral/Amex based questions. Some questions were a bit thought provoking and tricky but nothing too crazy. Final interview with the VP felt like more of the same. All 4 interviews were in the same week, 2 back to back, 1 the next day and 1 the day after that
Waited 3 days after the final interview to reach out to the recruiter, she told me they'll have an update tomorrow . The next day is when they extended an offer. She gave me a day to think about it and after some negotiation, I accepted. Application to offer took ~3 weeks
