American Industrial Partners Interview Questions

You don't actually interview for AIP, instead you interview for one of their Portfolio Companies. They had two interviews on campus, after which they would decide whether or not to bring you to Detroit to interview you again. After that, if some of the companies liked you they would reach out to you again. As such the process is very long and without guarantee of employment. And you won't even know which Portfolio companies you are interviewing for until you get to Detroit.

I interviewed with American Industrial Partners in Fall of 2015 The interview consisted of 3 stages: First stage is a 1on1 interview with some human resource representatives from AIP. The questions they ask are your general get to know you questions and a bit about your background and why you're interested. *Important note* When you are applying for AIP, you are not applying to work for AIP, you are applying to work for the portfolio companies that partner with AIP. Second Stage is a more in depth interview with representatives from AIP and representatives from the companies partnered with AIP. This interview is to get to know more in depth about how your experiences fit with the companies, so be prepared to get a lot of questions regarding your experiences and why it led you to choose AIP. Third Stage is where they fly you out to a hosting location where all the companies partnered with AIP come together to interview applicants. AIP hands your resume and information to their partnered companies so upon arrival you get a schedule of the companies that are interested in meeting with you for an interview. The whole interview process was very well put together but everything else is pretty horrible. Communication is probably the biggest problem they have. It takes weeks before they get back to you. In addition, there is a lot of miscommunication that goes on, so don't be surprised if they say one thing and then go back on their word.
