Not the great carrier it used to be
Not the great carrier it used to be
The new HDQ is really nice. The separate IT building makes parking easier compared to the main buildings. Also, the IT building has a covered walkway, which is very nice during rain or the sweltering summer.
US Air management has ruined AA. No longer the great company it once was.
Several in IT management (like level 6, I think it was) had zero management skills. They had been other IT workers promoted, but didn't have the skill set to manage people.
Flight benefits can be very hard to use. Standby travel was easier 15-30 years ago.
Dump the LCC (low cost carrier) mindset. AA was a premium airline; now it's Spirit Jr.

American Airlines Interview Experiences
Quality Assurance Analyst
Applied online. After a month, I got an email about a telephonic interview. The interview was pretty straightforward. I was asked some basic testing terms and some behavioral questions. I wasn't able to answer 2-3 out of the 12-15 questions asked.

I had one on-campus interview. The interview was not the usual interview style and was shocking. The interview was about 30 minutes. The interview also started about 5 minutes late.
Associate Software Engineer
Everything went smoothly. They asked a few technical questions based on my resume, and shared about the company, how they work, and what they expect from candidates.
