I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY) in Nov 2018
Interview
I met the recruitment team at my university career fair and was emailed to take an online coding assessment within a few weeks. A few weeks later I received an invitation to an onsite interview which they call a Super Day. I was joined by a large group of other applicants for a tour of the building followed by two one on one interviews. The questions were mostly behavioral with a few technical mixed in. After my onsite interview, I received an offer the next business day!
