I applied in-person. I interviewed at American Express
Interview
I went through three separate interviews all on separate days. It was difficult to wait because every day felt like an eternity.The final interview was the best because I did not know that the interviewer was the head of Credit Operations so I was just being myself and we had a few laughs. There was no pressure. Then she offered me the job and I thought that she was joking. It was dunny.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at American Express (London, England) in Sep 2013
Interview
I went through 2 interviews. Group and individual. It was a tough environment, almost a bit pack fight mentality to seperate the weak from the chaff. But, a great sense of achievment lies if you are up to the challenge and good enough to come through the other end.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How does the history of AMEX effect its aquisition strategy going forward.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at American Express (Manama) in Aug 2014
Interview
I was called for an interview with people from the business and HR a the same time. They asked all the typical questions of a normal interview.
When I asked what would the rest of the recruitment process be like, they said they had not defined it yet. That sounded quite strange. I asked if it was a matter of them making a decision on hiring me or not or if there would be another interview, and again they said they were not sure.
It has now been over 6 weeks since I had my interview. Even after sending emails asking for feedback, no response was sent back.
I must say it does not feel good to attend an interview in such a respected organisation and be treated with so little respect.
