Interview
I applied online, was sent a link to do a digital interview which took 10 minutes and consisted of three questions. I was then invited to participate in a phone interview. The phone interview was mostly me being screened to see if the basic conditions of the job was a fit for me. After being told the salary range I decided not to continue in the process.

Interview
It was a simple interview for round 1, mostly behavioral analysis and a few technical questions centered around Java. They love hearing about volunteer and teaching experiences, and if you have experience in any coding or software besides Java it's a plus.

Interview
First round interviews were over skype; two back to back then if you final round Amex flies you out to NYC. There is another 2 back to back interviews with similar questions.
