I interviewed at American Express (London, England)
Interview
This was a straight forward face to face interview with a senior software engineer. It consisted mostly of behavioural type questions. The chap introduced himself then asked about me, which was very open ended. He then asked some relatively straightforward questions about Java.
Good experience with most questions suitable with experience and aligned with the job description. It was a pleasant experience with focus on the correct topics. Have had 1 round till now.
