My experience was atypical, I applied through an interest form that my scholarship organization had sent out to us. Interviewed with a non-technical lead first, then a team lead hopped on the call and asked about previous experience before jumping into the coding questions.

The interview process for the Summer Software Intern position at American Express was thorough and challenging, consisting of multiple rounds including technical assessments, coding challenges, and behavioral interviews. The technical interviews tested algorithmic knowledge and coding skills, with an emphasis on problem-solving under pressure. Behavioral interviews focused on teamwork, communication, and alignment with the company’s values. The interviewers were professional, approachable, and provided constructive feedback, making the experience both rigorous and insightful. Overall, the process was well-organised, offering a clear insight into the role and the company culture.
