Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2 months)
With a brand-new business model, AOL has incorporated a recruiting process similar to Google's for the analytical-type roles. There are 7 steps including 5 interviews: apply, phone interview with HR, phone interview with manager, in-person interview at local office, in-person interview at Business Analyst HQ in Baltimore, phone interview with cultural ambassador, hiring committee approval.
The interviews are a mix of fit, behavioral, and case questions, with the Baltimore interview being the most rigorous and difficult. Computation skills and a comfort with numbers are key.
Although the process is long and extensive, HR keeps you "in the loop" at all times, calling to let you know if you're advancing to the next stage. AOL is being as selective as possible with who they hire, and that provides new employees with the confidence in their future colleagues who also passed such a rigorous process.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 3 weeks)
I applied to this position online and quickly recieved communication from HR in New York. HR asked me some general questions about my background, goals, career, etc. After about 45 min on the phone with HR she then informed me of a 2nd interview in person with representatives at the local office. That 2nd interview took place about a week later. I met with a couple representatives and had about an hour long interview. They asked me questions about my background and goals, shared more info about the company and position. They also asked me hypothetical problem solving questions, like estimate the number of X in City Y. HR then got back to me about a week later and informed me of a final interview round at HQ in Baltimore. That took some time to setup but it finally happened. The 3rd interview in Baltimore was an extensive meeting with about 4-5 different management staff. They asked some intense problem solving questions and detailed their business process. They paid for your flights to Baltimore from your home.
