I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at American Express in May 2015
Interview
It was an initial phone interview. The first questions were standard to check the answers provided in the online application match. Then, it is more about talking about your resume. But when they start asking about your job experience, it is all about your past salaries. They asked for all my past salaries, even internships I did 5 years ago.
After this, I felt very uncomfortable answering questions. The interviewer even pushed me to give an exact number for past jobs and the minimum salary I would accept.
Overall, terrible experience. An interview should not be based about salaries and I think it is not their business to know my entire income history.
Phone Interview with two others on speaker phone, pretty straight forward with the standard initial interview questions. They asked about my projects, experiences and coursework from my university. They did also ask if I would be open to other roles within the company.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at American Express (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Jan 2022
Interview
Was short and was on the vue interview system (used for most companies) which is once again so impersonal. Overall, it wasn't too stressful, only took me about 20 minutes and was informative.
