I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY) in Feb 2015
Interview
Overall very positive experience. The recruiting process took about three weeks total. I sent in my application and within a week, I was selected for an on campus interview. Then a few days later I got selected for a super day. Two days later, I got a call with my offer.
First round: There were a lot of situational and behavioral questions. Nothing too case-like or technical. Just make sure you know enough about the credit card industry, how Amex is differentiated, and show a genuine interest for the position.
Super Day: Pretty similar to the first round except there are a couple case questions. You don't have to use numbers in your answer, but just give a conceptual answer. Learn about how membership rewards work and consider what emerging markets Amex could go into and how.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Amex? How does Amex make its revenue, what are its costs? How is it different from other credit cards? And lots of behavioral (Tell me about a time you... failed/worked in a team/took on a risk... etc).

Did the application online and received an email that I wasn't chosen a couple of months later. I am also a Sophomore in college so they are probably looking for Juniors or Seniors.
Applied through school recruiting. Entire process took about 3 weeks. There were two rounds: a behavioral and a technical, each with two interviewers. Overall, it was a pretty good experience.
