The process took 1 day. I interviewed at American Express (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Aug 2015
Interview
Face to face technical round.
It began an hour late, even when it was scheduled on a working day.
The guy did not had enough time to have a look at my resume beforehand. He asked me for a copy and started reading through it.
It looked like he was forced and send on an uninteresting task, as he kept yawning.
The line of questioning was at random. I was asked to write the code starting from scratch including things like public class Test.
And while I was writing the code, he was flipping through his phone, yawning and staring at the ceiling.

Write program to find second highest number from a list, without using sorting.
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.
