I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at American Express (London, England) in Jul 2017
Interview
The hiring process was pretty quick. I topped the all India hackathon hosted by American Express and within one week, they had called me for further rounds of interview. After 6 rounds of interview I received an offer for a 6 month internship which was later extended to one year. The joining was also pretty fast.
