I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY) in May 2013
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter for a high level phone interview. About a 15 minute conversation on what the role was, my background, salary requirements, etc.
About 10 days later the recruiter reached back out to set up an in-person interview with 2 managers. The first interviewer was 15 minutes late for our meeting and made it clear she was uninterested in speaking with me (looked at her watch, texted as I spoke, etc). Pretty unprofessional but I took it as ways to throw me off during the process.
My 2nd interview went well, very basic questions that were situational/behavioral based.
I waited a week to hear back and had to reach out to discover I wasn't a candidate.
