I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at American Express (Manama) in Aug 2014
Interview
I was called for an interview with people from the business and HR a the same time. They asked all the typical questions of a normal interview.
When I asked what would the rest of the recruitment process be like, they said they had not defined it yet. That sounded quite strange. I asked if it was a matter of them making a decision on hiring me or not or if there would be another interview, and again they said they were not sure.
It has now been over 6 weeks since I had my interview. Even after sending emails asking for feedback, no response was sent back.
I must say it does not feel good to attend an interview in such a respected organisation and be treated with so little respect.
Three interviews between HR, 2 members of the project team and then the hiring manager themselves. Questions were in line for a project manager role and an assessment was asked to be completed before the final interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time you had competing priorities. How did you handle the situation?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY) in Jun 2025
Interview
I had 4 rounds of interviews, up to the Director round but did not get the job. This process lasted about 3 weeks, first I met with the recruiter and then 2 separate interviews with 2 senior PMs and then met with the director of the team.
Interview went for 4 Rounds. Questions are straight forward but the follow up questions and grilled into details. So overall it is okay experience. I would recommend to apply and try.
