Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso American Express nel mese di mag 2010
Colloquio
I applied for this position online and received a phone call from one of the team members to inquire more about my background (education, previous work experience etc.). Later that week an administrative assistant called to schedule a panel interview. The interview consisted of questions to evaluate candidate in certain situations. Obviously there were no right or wrong answers so it was not clear at the end if I did well or not. I heard back from the company again after a week to schedule for a technical interview. It consisted of questions around process improvement and related calculations. I knew for sure that it went well and I got an offer following week.
Advice to other interview candidates: Know everything about what you write in your resume. Be ready to explain salient projects that you worked on with relevant timelines and associated benefits.
Perceptions of people, office and work culture: People at American Express in general are very courteous. Managers especially let you speak first and listen well. Constructive feedback is considered as a gift! Workplace is very engaging and fun at the same time.

First 2 rounds were straightforward, one behavioral with the Hiring Manager and an excel case w/ an adjacent manager. Final interview was was with another manager of an similar team. It seemed like they already had a candidate in mind and rushed through the final interview to hit a arbitrary checkbox.

Give me your breakdown of the case based on the numbers that you came up with on your model.
Interview was 3 stages of increasing rank, most people are not super technical so it wasn't too difficult, they basically went by background more than anything. Definitely prioritize your organization skills, and how you progressed through career thus far.
