I applied online. I interviewed at American Express in May 2022
Interview
The interview process was extremely smooth.
It did take approximately 4-5 weeks to complete all the rounds.
For a BigData QE, depending upon the project hiring, there are multiple interview levels.
Level 1 : Technical Round 1
Be prepared to answer everything you have worked over the years. They do check your resume pretty well and ask almost everything that is mentioned in your cv.
So, prepare your cv very well before you share it with Amex recruiter.
Level 2 : Technical Round 2
Detailed interview process than in Level 1, Good hold on SQL queries and understanding. They don't expect you to solve Hackerank difficult queries, but their expectation is how good do you understand or able to write queries. You should be good enough to answer them the counter questions.
And they do confuse you in order to check your hold on the queries and clauses.
Level 3: Managerial Round
They do test you thorough, your communication, speaking skills, how presentable you're in the interview.
It's always good to appreciate the interviewer for the time they are sharing with you.
Be vocal and also don't trick your interviewer. The person interviewing you will be atleats 15 years exp., so you will be caught immediately.
All the rounds will be more than an hour.

The interviewers were a lady and one guy, both clueless about QA. The lady was arrogant and was worst in communication. The recruiter kept sending the same interview invite atleast 10 times with no changes, It's a chaos if you choose to interview with Amex. I am not sure how they are even qualified to conduct interviews first. Overall worst experience and horrible company. Avoid if you can unless you know someone. Interviews at Amex are an eyewash,
