I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at American Express (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
I was referred. There was a single interview lasting an hour and a half. They began with behavioral questions and a resume review. They then asked me about Java fundamentals as well as some questions related to OS. They then gave me a coding problem (LC easy) and wanted me to talk them through it. FInally I had the opportunity to ask questions to the two interviewers.
