I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at American Express in Nov 2022

It was pretty standard: 30 minute Behavioral Interview, 45 minute Technical Interview, and 30 minute Engineering Manager Interview. The questions were pretty straightforward and not intended to trick you like a Leetcode hard problem.

Interview
It's for new grad positions. There were 2 interviews in a row, one behavioral and one technical, each taking about 30 minutes. During the behavioral interview, the usual behavioral questions were asked. As for the technical interview, I was asked about my development lifecycle, including the development process and the tools I used. I was also asked about some git commands and SQL vs. NoSQL related questions. There were also some simple live coding questions.

Interview
They scheduled me for an interview. When I got there they realized I was an international student and canceled it. Later they scheduled again via email and I asked them if they’d like to still pull through given my status. Ghosted since then
