I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AIG in Aug 2007
Interview
My resume was submitted by a recruiter for this position. Then I had two phone interviews with two senior team member and invited to visited the company in LA. 3 1:1 interview with the team again and had a lunch with the manager. Since I was a fresh scinence phd without much finance knowledge and zero experience at all, most interview are quite generic and almost no technical question. I think is the point is ask the right questions which will show your interesting and capability to learn.
The interview process consisted of an initial phone screening then an interview with 5 different AIG employees. Finally you will receive the final decision. During these interviews they were mostly behavioral questions.
