I applied online. I interviewed at American Express (Warsaw, Masovia) in Feb 2018
Interview
First call to chat about my previous experience, then no outcome at all for weeks. After chasing them, the reply was Sorry for no valid reason or feedback about why my application has been turned down.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic interview questions about my previous role, then comes the admin question; what passport are you holding? I reckon the interviewer uses this question to discriminate between candidates as I felt that the interviewer didn't seem to like my nationality, even though I mentioned that I have full rights to work in the UK and hold an MBA from top-tier UK university.
I believe they mainly want Europeans to work with them. The interviewer was from Eastern Europe and her English wasn't that good. Although I replied to every single question perfectly and even beyond the level of understanding of the interviewer, primarily because of my education level and experience, However, I still didn't get the job, nor even bothered to give me the outcome of the application without continuously chasing the interviewer.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at American Express (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Dec 2024
Interview
had a really positive interview experience with American Express for the Business Development Associate role. The interviewers were professional, engaging, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The questions were thoughtful and gave me a chance to truly express my strengths and passion for the role. It felt more like a conversation than an interrogation, which I really appreciated.
there are total 3 rounds of the interview
first ground- phone interview with HR
second round and third round, there are the zoom interview with the line manager and director
