I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY) in Oct 2014
Interview
I had an interview during a conference in October. I was given 2 hours notice from handing my resume over to having a 2:1 interview. I interviewed with a software engineer and an HR rep. The interview consisted of behavioral and technical questions and had a laid-back feel. The technical questions revolved around basic data structures and algorithms similar to what you would see in a Data Structures or Design and Analysis of Algorithms class. I also had to write a simple MySQL query on a given relation. Additionally, I looked at simple classes in Java and located/described bugs. I talked myself through each step out loud and asked questions as I had them. I was given scratch paper, which they kept for analysis. I wrote down as much as I could and did my best to explain all of my decisions. I also showcased my other talents outside of programming to show myself as a well-rounded candidate.
