Application Advice:
American Express is a great company to start working in, especially if you're still not sure what you want to work on. It allows you to try out different technologies and meet many different people.
Interview Advice:
Try your hardest to be yourself and not be too nervous. They are looking for people who would fit the company culture, that doesn't mean you have the best technical skills.

We are a people centred company, and want our employees to grow professionally in their roles.

And as cheesy as it sounds applying is one step closer to getting the job.

Case study questions will be given as well as a group question and individual interviews. The interviews are not too tough - some of the friendliest I have had. Just make sure you do plenty of preparation to match the experience you have to the competencies that American Express looks for.

Finance at American ExpressRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Research the company thoroughly. American Express should be viewed as a service brand, not 'just a credit card company', and you should be able to understand the different aspects of this. Also understand how they make money - 'the closed loop' - and what differentiates them from competitors.
Really think through competency questions and research the idea of growth mindset.
Interview Advice:
Competency questions! Think practically about the value Amex can offer to cardmembers, corporations, and merchants and be prepared to answer questions on this.

Application Advice:
The collaborative working environment at Amex is very important so during the application process and especially during interviews and assessment centres, applicants need to be genuine, friendly and demonstrate the ability to work with others. Alongside relevant skills, competencies and qualifications, being personable and co-operative is a necessity to succeed at American Express.
Interview Advice:
Know the products - I was asked to present on a previously un-seen business challenge at the assessment centre which turned out to be a discontinued product that I had researched. As such I was able to go above and beyond in that particular challenge.
Be positive and personable - once you've made it to the interview, being friendly and positive is just as important as being knowledgeable and qualified.

Application Advice:
Don't pretend to be something you're not. When you have telephone interviews or an assessment centre try to be yourself. Assessors look to see whether a person will fit into the culture of American Express, you stand a better chance of fitting in if you are honest and natural during interviews.
Interview Advice:
Make sure you are clear in your own mind why you are interested in the role and show that you have researched the company.

You don't have to be a marketing expert, demonstrate an eagerness to learn and talk about the experiences you have had in the past that make you 1. A good listener capable of working with a team. 2. A good presenter, capable of articulating your ideas clearly. 3. Curious and always keen to learn more.

Manager, Internal Consulting at American ExpressRead the full review »
Application Advice:
We are looking for more technical people, but don't let that put you off. If you are interested in the role but don't think you are technically capable Amex provides all the support you need. You just need to show a passion and a drive to do well.
Interview Advice:
Talk about all the things you've been involved with outside of work and study. All the extra curricular stuff. You can learn all the skills needed for the job but it's a lot harder to change who you are and you shouldn't have to just to match a job. If you talk about who you are as a person then you'll know if you fit in the role or not.

Interview Advice:
Interviewing questions are normally the in house competency questions. There are no trick questions but really take your time to think before answering.
The case study is not too difficult but take your time when answering the questions and presenting back to your interviewer. They will ask you some questions but if you have read through the case study properly you should be able to answer them.
