I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Bank of America in Oct 2009
Interview
She interviewed me on the phone and decided I was a good candidate, and then had me take a personality test. Evidently I failed it, because I never heard from her again. My understanding is that the next step would have been a face-to-face interview. In my job, I am glad we do not use such things as personality tests. They too often don't take into account that sometimes what is needed is a fresh perspective. But B of A is huge, and as with most animals, it has gotten too big in order to sustain its own mass. I hope somebody truly intelligent up there reads this and realizes that making a personality test a PART of the process is a good idea, but making it the end-all, be-all is a very, very BAD idea.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bank of America (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2025
Interview
This is a corporate setting. There were multiple interviews. Professional dress. It is cold in SF. First round telephone call. Second round video call. Third round was in person at the their headquarters in the corporate offices.
First I talked to a recruiter. Then, video with various scenarios asking questions about how you would respond. Several different case analysis. The follow up after the conversation with the recruiter was fast.

Interview
multialayes, many appointments, lots of calls, emails and scheduling. Talk to entire team. Boring process. Waste of time. So this was waste of time meeting with the entire team was a time waster for me. 3 layers of interviews for every candidate
