I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at American Express (Singapore) in Mar 2024

There was a short case study which required applicants to discuss in teams and present our ideas afterward. It took about an hour. If you pass this round, there will be another round of interview with the hiring manager.

Question 1
Why do you choose this company and internship role?
The interview process was fairly structured and focused on behavioral and company-specific questions. Interviewers asked about leadership style, how you communicate with different stakeholders, and how you contribute to a team. There were also questions about the business itself, such as your favorite credit card and why, how American Express makes money, and how you would market Amex products to small business owners. Overall, it felt like they were assessing both cultural fit and basic understanding of the company’s value proposition.
It was in-person, two-people, general questions, some specfific questions on how you would apporach a campaign, They were nice, lots of people interviewing the same day. But that was the last round, before that it was a online screening.
Il processo di selezione è stato ben strutturato e organizzato in tre fasi: un colloquio iniziale con HR focalizzato sulla motivazione e la conoscenza dell’azienda, seguito da un business case individuale da svolgere in una settimana, e infine un colloquio tecnico con il manager del team Marketing. Ho apprezzato la puntualità e la chiarezza nella comunicazione. Durante i colloqui, mi sono sentita ascoltata e rispettata, anche se alla fine non ho ricevuto un’offerta.
