I was contacted by a recruiter from the talent acquisition team at AMEX for the interview.
The process took 4-5 weeks. Interviewed Nov 2013
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The recruiter did an initial technical screening on the phone. The questions were multi choice type. He read the questions and then read the choices. There were about 10 questions. Pretty basic.A day later I was scheduled for the first round of phone interview which was an hour long technical assessment. The questions were simple. At the end of this interview I was asked to code a solution for a simple problem. There was a screen share so that the interviewer could look at my screen.
A day later I got a call saying they'd want to schedule an on-site.
I wasnot given the details as to how many rounds of interview to expect. I wasnot not even given a schedule that listed how long the individual interviews would go for. Was just told the interview would take 2-3 hours.
A day before the interview I received an e-mail saying the interview time was pre-poned by like 2 hours. It was very unprofessional to inform me of pre-poning a day before. I had to take the day off at work.
I had 2 rounds of interview on-site. For both the rounds there were 2 interviewers. The first round was just a resume walk through and a few behavioural questions. the second interview consisted of 2 parts 1. cognitive interview. 2. root cause analysis type.
For the cognitive part, the interviewers would give you a question( like how many ice-creams are sold in US each year) and would want to see your approach for it. for the second part, they'd give you a problem and expect you to come up with the root cause for it.
2 virtual technical round and then a 3rd behavioral round. I am not able to clear the Behavioral round , this round specific to detailed discussion regarding project and they ask 1 scanerio based question that i am not able to provide . and for second scanerio they have some thins in mind and i am giving some other solution so they rejected at the end .

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at American Express in Jul 2024
Interview
Unprofessional Interview panel
I had my zoom interview scheduled after about a month's time of my application, At the scheduled time, no one from the panel showed up. After about 10 minutes, recruiting manager logged in and told me that the technical team is in an important meeting and will have to schedule to a different time. My interview was then rescheduled to a week later.
During the second time, I logged in well ahead of time and waited for the panel. I waited for over half an hour in the zoom link but no one showed. Later when I emailed recruiting manager about this, she had no clue what went wrong.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at American Express in Mar 2022
Interview
Zoom meeting with 2 SENIOR engineers.
Several java questions that can be answered in 5 seconds by GOOGLE.
A not good enough 'leetcode-style' question that has major issue and the SENIOR engineer actually could not tell how it works.
After that ghosted me without any rejection email.
I am so glad I don't have this luck with amex and after that much better offers came.
