An American Express recruiter, Lisa- who knowns me from school - contacted me for a SWE role. We talk and she said that she'll schedule me for a virtual interview but never sent a confirmation email. Lisa then involved her colleague Brooke to schedule it but she did not schedule it either. Her excuse was that she was on PTO and Brooke had surgery. I mysteriously receive multiple spam calls and emails such as 'Virgin Airlines' thereafter. The main recruiter, Lisa, then invites me for an on-site interview, which I accept since I would be in the area anyways. An email was sent to me confirming an interview time & date. The day of the interview I get an email telling me that they have to move it to an earlier time which I already told them I was not available. I get there at the scheduled time and HR said that the interviewer left. Mind you, I see other people actively interviewing. I point this out to the human resource member there, and she begins yelling at me telling me that the specific guy for my interview left. But they say that they'll schedule me for a virtual interview. I leave. Some time goes by and I receive a rejection email & constant spam calls and emails that same day The length that human resources at American Express will go to just to bother someone is incredibly unprofessional & petty. They obviously have nothing better to do.
That’s tough

This company is very unprofessional….I couldn’t have said it any better. The leadership here is absolutely god-awful, the hiring standards are also horrendous. Im speaking from a tech department point of view. I understand that Amex is not a tech company but damn, they do a horrible job in the tech department as a non-tech company. My only recommendation is….stay away from this place or commit to this place for a certain period of time like 6 months and then just quit. No growth here.

Do you happen to be Indian?
I'm white as an albino
Unfortunately that’s probably why, low key Amex is so racist towards non-Indians. Tons of Indian VPs and Directors here who basically only hire other Indians and teams here can be like 85-95% Indians, my team is one of such. Really sucks tbh, Indians have ruined the culture and diversity here
