I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AOL (Dulles, VA) in Feb 2011
Interview
Recruited from LinkedIn Profile by New York HR team. That led to phone interview, and in person interview locally; then to panel interview in New York office. Very professional and positive experience, although it helped they were recruiting me more than me applying to an opening.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Among interviewers is someone serving as cultural ambassador who primarily wants to assess your attitudes about change...which makes sense because AOL is a place where your cheese can be moved quickly.
