Risk

What can I expect in an interview for a quant position in the Business Risk group of a bank? I don't have a finance background (engineer) and most of this is very new to me.

Can someone also tell me more about what type of work these positions do, are they looked upon favourably for exit opps (hedge funds, VC, PE, M&A, etc), pay compared to traditional IB positions?
