I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at American Express (New York, NY) in Aug 2011
Interview
This was very straight forward, interviewed with the person who would be my boss, a Director. And two VPs. They asked behavioral questions and also some technical ones, about Finance and about the industry. Everything as expected. I was surprised that I didn't have to interview with HR, which I liked because sometimes I feel that HR just adds a bunch of bureaucracy to interview processes.
