I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bank of America (Palo Alto, CA) in Feb 2010
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter whose client was BofA and had a phone interview with him. He scheduled the in-person interviews for the following week and I had to fill out a background check form prior to the interview. I had an interview with the Office Manager and three other admins. I first met with the Office Manager and several minutes later another admin came in and they were both there. Two more admins interviewed me at the same time afterwards. The next day I was offered a second round of interviews with the Managing Directors. I met with 2 MDs and also met with a couple other admins. The next day I got a job offer (Wednesday). I accepted the offer the next day (Thursday) even though they wanted someone to start the following Monday, they said it would be fine if I started on Wednesday since I was on vacation and didn't return to the office until Tuesday. On Monday morning, I get an e-mail retracting the offer. Although the interview experience went fine, and offer experience went sour, I am glad it happened. Thinking back about the office culture, it would have not been the right fit after all. How can there be any kind of trust in an environment that would allow for an offer to be retracted just because the start date was only 2 days later. This shows they are not flexible, understanding or considerate.
Interviewers were very nice, it was a relaxed atmosphere. I didn't get the job but the interview was a good experience. I didn't have to wait too long to before they got back to me which I appreciated.
