It consisted of a phone interview with a recruiter that asked basic personal questions. I got a virtual interview a couple weeks after that was half behavioral and half technical.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY) in Jan 2025
Interview
Applied. Received an email for a call with a recruiter 4 weeks later. I spoke to the recruiter about the role, but the recruiter was new and couldn't answer any questions, so it wasn't hard but wasn't useful to either of us. They said they'd get answers to some of my questions from the HM, but that never happened. My application status changed 10 weeks later. I did not receive an email about it changing. Questions were mostly logistic (i.e. what is your notice period?).
I was mostly disappointed because Amex is big on employee ("colleague") experience, but their candidate experience and pipeline leave much to be desired.
