US Investigations Services Fraud / Aml Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

Applied online, but had to chase the recruiter multiple times to get an interview. The first interview was a quick 20-30 minute phone call with pretty straightforward questions. After that, I had a take-home assignment where I had to answer two questions in one to three paragraphs each, within about three hours. They were looking at grammar and sentence structure for that. The recruiter said a decision would be made the next day and that no news was good news. A week later, I still hadn't heard back, so I emailed for an update, but got no reply. Then, I finally got the rejection email the Friday before Labor Day weekend, right as we were heading out on vacation. Talk about a way to start the weekend.

The background investigation for this role was a bit delayed due to a backlog, but it's much quicker now. It involves speaking with your past employers, coworkers, neighbors, friends, and references. They'll also check your credit. You start by applying and doing an online screening test that asks about your ability to work independently. The one-on-one interview is pretty standard, but you need to pass a writing test during it. They really need someone who can communicate well verbally and write error-free reports. Your work is constantly checked, and mistakes can get you fired fast.

I applied in late March and got a phone interview in late May, which lasted about half an hour and covered basic questions. They said I'd hear back in 2-3 weeks. After a lot of waiting and phone tag, about 7 weeks later, I got a call to schedule the in-person interview. A few days later, I had the interview in a nearby city. A district manager interviewed me because the team leader couldn't make it. It was about an hour long and more in-depth, with many situational/hypothetical questions about my personality and life goals. Afterward, I watched a video, took notes, and answered some questions. I was told I'd get a conditional offer (pending background check/drug test) within 2-3 weeks. The interview was recent, so I'm still waiting to find out.
