Average Interview
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at American Express (Rueil-Malmaison (France)) in January-2017.
Interview
Entretien par téléphone (Présentation de soi, expérience passées, ce que je peux apporter pour l'entreprise), puis entretien face a face. Pas beaucoup de communication sur le processus pendant le recrutement.
