I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at American Express (Gurgaon, Haryana) in May 2018
Interview
The interview was easy. But a lot of unprofessionalism showed by them. Didn't expected such behavior from such a big giant.
In the very first call they gathered all info about my profile, role,aspirations etc. I was excited for the interview. The day I reached there , the very first round was again HR Praful, since interview panel was not available. I again cleared all my roles and aspirations and he asked me to fill one long oNline form.
First round was written - easy.
After clearing 2 rounds , I was asked that I would be having a Skype managerial round.
But guess what ,they called me and told that we took your interview for a junior role by mistake And again you have to appear for the interview .Again I appeared and cleared the rounds and at last they told me we can't offer you the already held offer by you.
Don't understand why you waste others and yours time as well.Well that's your job but not mine to appear for such interview by taking leaves for these kind of stupidity.
Really , I don't understand why HR even exists if you have such kinda attitude. I feel good when people take offer from you and then don't join you because you deserve such unprofessionalism.

Basic Java , based upon current project architecture.Rest web services.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at American Express
Interview
Had went through a referral via a current Amex employee. Did the entire loop 5 round (1 HM, 2 Dev, and 2 offshore Devs) and eventually I figured it was decided to promote someone from within the team. Moreover had another Senior engineer round and position just closed the day after I finished my interview round. Most of these interview are just a pipeline process or a backfill positions for assessment, many a times this is just perm application process where interviews are aligned but no actual hires or offers are made to the candidate, eventhough you are confident of your interviews. The feedback from the recruiters are just generic ones suggesting you to keep trying for other position which is not at all helpful.
Was pretty straight forward. Come on as a contractor initially. Then transitioned after two years. More of an on the job interview. The move to employee was seamless, same job, same leader.
