I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY)
Interview
This company encourages unprofessional recruitment practices with candidates. Individuals from “recruiting sourcing specialists” to “talent acquisition” HR professionals often contact candidates to set up interviews or calls then never get back to them. It has happened to many individuals that I know who have applied to the company. Very inappropriate and a complete waste of time. No one should respond to their emails and corporate needs to look further into this behavior, as it discourages high performing talent from approaching the company.

Question 1
We have received your resume and would like to coordinate in-person interviews. Are there any days next week that work well?
I applied online. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY)
Interview
First 2 rounds were straightforward, one behavioral with the Hiring Manager and an excel case w/ an adjacent manager. Final interview was was with another manager of an similar team. It seemed like they already had a candidate in mind and rushed through the final interview to hit a arbitrary checkbox.

Question 1
Give me your breakdown of the case based on the numbers that you came up with on your model.
Interview was 3 stages of increasing rank, most people are not super technical so it wasn't too difficult, they basically went by background more than anything. Definitely prioritize your organization skills, and how you progressed through career thus far.
Applied Online, and then got a hirevue, they asked "pitch me an investment idea" and I was kind of thrown off, but answered, Waited about three months and then got a rejection email.
