I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY) in Jun 2022
Interview
Applied online and was contacted by a recruiter the next day via email to provide available times for an initial phone interview. I responded with availability that same day and never heard back from the recruiter again. I sent multiple follow up messages and even reached out via LinkedIn. Over a month later I received the generic email that I wasn't selected to move forward.

Applied Online, and then got a hirevue, they asked "pitch me an investment idea" and I was kind of thrown off, but answered, Waited about three months and then got a rejection email.
