Recruiter to interview moved ok. One week intervals between each step. Their applicant interface is absolutely terrible. It put me off Amex for future jobs and perhaps even from using their products. Seriously, invest in a better applicant experience like Workday or something streamlined. You probably won’t get hired here if you’re a minority. If you are, you’ll likely have to be a sorority type with a 24 inch waist who doesn’t really need a job and lives off of a trust fund. When I went in for the interview, the senior manager who interviewed me was basically a 26 year old sorority girl upgraded, living on Park Avenue, Chanel flats, total trust fund kid. Don’t even bother. I was so deflated realizing that even as an accomplished person with a Master’s degree from a reputable institution and experience with two fortune 50 companies, they won’t hire you if you don’t fit their privileged mold or deviate from it. Also they tried to low ball me into oh hey a senior analyst makes $65-70 with a masters. Are we low balling the minority candidates on top of dismissing them completely because they didn’t go to the Chapin school or Bam Nightingale or another private school in the city. I was so incensed that after the interview I looked at the profiles of all the senior managers and managers and it occurred to me that they’re all basically the same demographic. Don’t bother applying, I am serious. You will waste so much time with their outdated candidate portal, then waste your vacation days interviewing with entitled privileged trust fund sorority girls. I may actually dismiss using any Amex products because of how horrible this experience was. And to add insult to injury, I got emails that were auto generated to keep applying for more crap roles that were well below what I was qualified to do. So the sorority girls with trust funds from Chapin are senior managers and the minorities with a larger than 24’ waist are designated to be support staff or individual contributors?! Good job in hiring Amex, real good on diversity and inclusion. Maybe you can hire a minority with a Master’s to be a janitor or receptionist for 40k and have them lorded around by trust
fund sorority girls in Chanel. Real good job on being an equal opportunity employer.
Fiz uma entrevista na empresa American Express (New York, NY).
Entrevista
It was straight forward. Only had a call, but it was the generic questions to be expected. Recruiter was nice, but it wasn't the best flow of questioning. Overall not too bad.

Entrevista
It was just alright, the HR was a little rude and asked some rudimentary questions but that was expected. They asked really silly questions like what are your strengts and weaknesses that type.
Nice interviewer, standard behavioral questions and discussion about the role. Asked a lot about collaborative style and work styles. Felt very conversational and nothing crazy or technical was asked of me on the spot.
