I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at American Express in Jul 2014
Interview
I completed the pre-screening interview and was told that I was exactly what they were looking for in this position. I was very excited about the position and was looking forward to my in person interview. However, the Recruiter contacted me to ask if I would hire her at my current company because it was so horrible to work for the Recruiting Company that American Express uses. The phone conversation ended when she basically stated that if I took the position at American Express then my position at my current company would be open and she could take my position. She then wouldn't listen to me when I told her I was no longer interested in the position and continued to forward my information on to the VP who was hiring for the position. The entire process was unprofessional and didn't make me want to work for a company whose recruiters were so unethical.

Other Director Interview Reviews for American Express
I had three rounds of interviews. After third, there was no follow up by Amex. I contacted HR for status updates three times and took them 2 full months to confirm they were not moving forward with my candidacy. It was obvious to me they moved on but they did not have the decency or professionalism to notify me. Disappointed in an Amex.
Interview process itself was brief. Spoke with a recruiter based out of India for screening. Spoke with two people internally. One of whom showed up 15 minutes late to a 30 minute interview. Did not hear anything from them for 6 weeks, and then the person who I would have reported in to called me to tell me I hadn't gotten the job.
