I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY) in Jun 2019
Interview
First had a phone screening with a member of the HR department. The interviewer had no insight or knowledge about the department or roles, but was able to clarify I was a real person.
Second round was with the hiring manager who was overall not a very nice person. She was upset that I waited by the elevators (as instructed to do so by HR) and did not come to the specific conference room assigned for the meeting. Overall, she seemed over the interview before it even begun and I personally had no interest in working for someone like this.
Questions entailed about me, my past experiences, and some strategic process/scenarios.
