The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY) in Dec 2010
Interview
Initially discussed position with HR and then met with the director of the team the following week. Interview went well and she asked fairly typical questions for a marketing position (examples from my experience, hypothetical scenarios, etc). She then had me meet with another member on the team who had previously held the position, which was helpful, as he gave a lot of good info on the role. Both went really well and I came back in the following week to meet with the VP. He was a little more intense - asked questions about industry, competitors, future plans in the company, and general marketing knowledge. Said he was meeting with a few other candidates but would get back to me shortly. Unfortunately, I never heard back from them. In fact, in the 2 months after, I reached out to HR and the director via phone and email, but no one has responded. For such a reputable, well-established and supposedly amazing place to work, it's a highly unprofessional and disrespectful way of treating potential candidates. I assume that I didn't get the job but it would've been greatly appreciated if someone had reached out to tell me.

The process took 2 months. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY) in Nov 2010
Interview
I was contacted within a few days of applying online through the company website. After a very pleasant and promising interview, I NEVER heard back from the hiring manager or the HR. After speaking with other people who have gone through the recruiting process with AMEX, I've realized that I'm not alone. I get that people are busy, but have the courtesy to reply with a concrete answer. It takes a simple email or a phone call. THAT'S IT. They're tarnishing their "BRAND IMAGE" they dearly care so much.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at American Express (Markham, ON) in Dec 2009
Interview
There were multiple interviewers.
They asked questions off resume first then like questions about experiences and strengths and stuff.
Then behaviour based questions about just what you would do in this situation or when you demonstrated this.
Not such a hard interview. Just relax and have fun.
