Overall Pretty Great. A Little Too Conservative
Overall Pretty Great. A Little Too Conservative
Flexible work schedule.
Interesting work.
Challenging problems to solve.
Great opportunities for growth.
Hard work is rewarded.
Really nice, friendly people (except near review time).
Ethically rock solid.
Slow moving. Stuck in old technologies and development paradigms. The bonus structure leads to competition among employees, so when bonus time is approaching, it can be kind of back-stabby. Innovation is largely frowned upon.
The Phoenix area is getting a lot of tech companies, which means a lot of competition for top-rate talent. The best of the best are leaving Amex in droves and going to other Phoenix-area offices (such as Amazon, GoDaddy, and various start-ups).
Work harder to keep them and to attract new talent.

American Express Interview Questions
American Express Interview Experiences
Software Developer Intern
Asked two questions. Both were LeetCode easy. The interviewer came late and seemed very disorganized. He kept asking random questions about Java garbage collection, runtime errors, etc., and interrupting while I was answering.

First round is an online HireVue with behavioral questions and MC. The second round is 1 hr 45 min behavioral plus technical with two engineers. I'm not sure if that's the final round, though.

I interviewed with them 3 times for 3 different teams and got 2 out of 3 offers. I decided not to go through with them because I accepted an offer from a different company. The ones with offers had me answer mostly technical and behavioral questions
