I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at American Express (Gurgaon, Haryana) in May 2014
Interview
It was 1 month process, was contacted through a consultancy to which the hiring has been outsourced by Amex. Had 5 interviews each occurring at a gap of a week.
First one was taken by hiring manager, the immediate leader . Second was a skip level interview taken by client - a mix of technical and managerial. Then was taken by Director - a blend of managerial and situational questions, then had HR, then again had a technical round
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They check the fitment with respect to the requirement. Previous role and responsibilities.
Technical interview contained scenario based questions and specific syntax based question for SAS.
Case study and mathematical and statistical test. Concepts basis resume so msg in-depth understanding of what you have mentioned is important. Overall a good experience and grease learning forum. Hands on training on some coding language is an added benefit
It's a standard process to me. First interview with the HR, then the next one with the line manager. I have been asked to introduce myself first then to ask back some questions in the first interview.
Selected after submitting my CV. I did an electronic test and then an HR call. I was then called for an HR screening with other 30 candidates. I was subsequently selected and met the 4 managers of the team. Finally I met the VP in Charge of the department who offered the job.
