Preparing for your AIG interview?

AIG underwrites complex risks that most insurers avoid: multinational corporate programs, cyber liability for Fortune 500 companies, aviation and aerospace, financial institutions, and emerging risks. Underwriters must analyze multimillion dollar exposures, structure coverage across jurisdictions, and price risk with limited historical data for emerging classes. The work requires strong analytical skills, commercial awareness, and the judgment to make consequential pricing decisions.

AIG has significantly restructured since 2008, divesting non core businesses, strengthening its balance sheet, and refocusing on commercial insurance and life retirement. The company has rebuilt its risk management culture and regulatory relationships. Understanding this transformation shows interview awareness. AIG today is a leaner, more focused commercial insurer. The transformation also means the company values candidates who embrace change, accountability, and disciplined risk management.

The AIG interview process typically includes an initial recruiter screen, followed by one or more technical or behavioral rounds, and a final on site or virtual loop. Each stage evaluates different skills depending on the role you applied for.

Research AIG thoroughly, practice common interview questions for your role, prepare 3 to 5 stories using the STAR method, and prepare thoughtful questions to ask the interviewer. Using a tool like Orbyt can generate tailored questions specific to AIG and your role.

AIG interviews include a mix of behavioral questions (using the STAR method), technical or domain specific questions, and situational problem solving. The exact mix depends on the department and seniority level of the role.

Most AIG roles involve 3 to 5 interview rounds. This usually includes a recruiter call, a phone or video technical screen, and 2 to 3 on site or virtual loop interviews with the hiring team.

For AIG, business casual is generally a safe choice for most roles. Tech and creative roles tend to be more casual, while finance, consulting, and executive positions lean toward business professional. When in doubt, ask your recruiter.
