Associate Software Engineer Interview Experience - Phoenix, Arizona
Process
A recruiter found my resume online on my club's website (SHPE, Hispanic Engineers). I received an email stating they liked my resume and wanted to schedule an online interview. The interview was an hour long and divided into two parts.
The first interview was with a Senior Engineer who asked four different behavioral questions (e.g., "Why do you want to work for Amex?", "Tell me about a time where...").
The second interview was with another Senior Engineer. They asked three technical questions followed by three easy-to-medium coding questions that were completed live with the interviewer present.
Questions

Why do you want to work with Amex?
Tell me about a time you worked in a group project that didn't go as planned and what were the end results.

Managers will stick out for you when working with other teams. Had a great engineer lead who was able to mentor and guide me whenever it's needed.Cons: - Very high pace work environment. - Get ready to be thrown in the deep end. As if you're not lucky to get a good mentor in the company, you'll be learning most of the business aspects by yourself and integrating them into your work. - There were many teams working on the same project when I was there, and it slowed down a lot of processes and brought a lot of frustration.
