Our candidates report that AIG is looking for more than technical polish in a quantitative analyst. The strongest signal in the experience we saw was self-awareness under pressure: the prompts centered on conflict with a manager, professional weaknesses, and how a candidate explains difficult situations without sounding defensive. That tells us AIG is screening for people who can operate in a regulated, relationship-heavy environment where judgment matters as much as modeling skill.
A recurring theme is that the company seems to care about whether you can connect your background to insurance in a credible way, not just say you’re interested in finance broadly. The process felt “drawn out” to the candidate, and that usually means consistency matters — your story has to hold together across recruiter conversation, recorded responses, and team conversations. We’ve seen that candidates who are vague about why they want insurance or who give overly polished answers can come across as thin on motivation.
What makes or breaks interviews here is often the tone of your examples. AIG appears to favor candidates who can describe a difficult manager interaction with maturity, show accountability, and keep the answer concise. In other words, they’re not just listening for what happened; they’re listening for whether you can be trusted to communicate clearly when the stakes are high.

The process started with a HireVue interview, which was followed by an invitation to a Super Day. I was applying for an underwriting internship, so keep that in mind if you're comparing my experience to the quant track. The Super Day turned out to be one conversation with a single interviewer. They were very nice and easy to talk to. The questions were minimal. The main one was asking me to introduce myself, and they didn't ask much more about my background. For most of the conversation, I was the one asking questions about the role and the work.
It felt more like a relaxed chat than an assessment. The questions I remember were few, so I had limited opportunity to show my fit for the role. Looking back, I would have come in with a more concrete picture of my experience and why I wanted this internship, because the conversation didn't draw that out for me. I didn't receive an offer.
Prep tip from this candidate
Have a tight, rehearsed introduction ready, since it was the main question asked. Also prepare several specific questions about the team and the work, because much of the conversation was spent on the candidate's questions.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
The process starts with a standard recruiter call focused on your background, experience, and overall fit for the Quantitative Analyst role. This stage is mostly introductory and helps determine whether you should move forward.
Candidates then complete a HireVue recording with about 3 to 5 short questions. The prompts are mainly behavioral, covering topics like handling conflict, describing a difficult situation with a manager, and reflecting on professional weaknesses or self-awareness.
If you pass the earlier steps, you move on to an onsite interview with members of the team. The experience suggests this is a live interview stage with multiple team members rather than a single quick conversation.
