Interviewed Nov 2011 in Charlotte, NC (took a day)
It was first a 1:1 campus interview about pretty basic math concepts. Then I was invited for a onsite. First dined with the director and the Mgr, asked me about background questions and some behavioral questions. Then moved to a conference room for a group interview. It was kind of tough, option pricing, stochastic processes, coding and general questions about the company. I think I was not prepared for that.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3+ weeks)
The whole process took about a month from start to finish. Around the end of December, I applied online to BOA for the teller position. Within a day or so, I received an email that I had made it to the next round in the process and they asked me to take an assessment test. The test consisted of personality type questions and money/math questions. The assessment test also examined my typing skills. I finished that over new years weekend and on Tuesday I received a call that I had passed the assessment and the lady scheduled me for a phone interview for the next day. I can't really remember the phone interview questions, but I want to say it was typical interview questions such as why BOA? (esp since my background was not in banking) where do you see yourself in 5 years. Be sure to give a good answer as they are looking for people to stay with the company. Following that, I was asked to complete a background check including my last places of employment and residences. Please note if you do not pass this step, you are no longer going to be considered for the position so try to remember everything. I was especially nervous about this because within the past ten years I had moved around a lot due to college. Once I completed this, my recruiter disappeared on me for about 2 weeks so I thought I was no longer in consideration for the positon, but then she called me and said she was having technical issus and wanted to go ahead and schedule me for an interview with my local branch. I had my interview with the branch on Tuesday. They asked typical interview questions. It would behoove you to look up typical BOA questions as they read off a standardized sheet. I was asked name a time I gave above and beyond customer service for example, i was asked to role play 2 situations (not as scary as I thought), how did i deal with a difficult customer, how do i multitask and make sure everything gets done and why BOA to name a few. My recruiter called me on Thursday to let me know I was being offered the job! I start in little over a week! The manager and assistant manager seem really cool and young so looks like its going to be a great place to work!

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 months)
Extremely long over complicated process , first applied online received a phone call next day,scheduled interview for 2 weeks later (first available), then did group panel interview which lasted 2 hours, then was called with an offer 1 week later. A week later received fingerprint instructions, then a week later they finally ran my background. Then gave me a date to take my identification into the branch.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Due to the extremely rude treatment from the Mgr and A.Mgr at the branch location when I submitted my paperwork; and going through 1.5 hours of unpaid training, seeing them send away clients with money because their lunch date was waiting. I did not want to work in such an unprofessional setting.
Other Details

Interviewed May 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 6+ weeks)
Was contacted by Bank of America directly for a position they had and went through the process. It was laborious and took over 6 weeks. Several phone interviews and 3 1:1 - traditional type interviews. Had a required one from the executive who was late; cancelled twice and then didn't get my name right.
The background check was a nightmare. Although it ended up nothing on it, HR lost my paperwork sent to the FBI and no one would follow-up because of confidentiality. I had actually started my job search again.
Ended up with the position based on the remote work allowed but regret it now. The problems with the interview process has continued into the job itself.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Plano, TX (took 2 weeks)
First it is a phone interview with the recruiter, if you pass that stage you will interview with the hiring manager or managers. The hiring managers wont talk about compensation they will leave that up to the recruiter. The hiring managers have the power to make the pay what they would like.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Never accept the first offer, they ofcourse can always offer you more. If they are unwilling to increase let them know they you need to think about the offer and get back with the recruiter.
