      Counsel Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY)

      Interview

      A phone interview with no direction. I was actually initially rejected and then called back months later. Set questions with no variation and people with little knowledge of the position. No feedback and rejection was by email (after a final round) which is inappropriate for a high level position.
