Interviewed Feb 2012 in Westlake Village, CA (took 2 weeks)
Overall it was pretty straight forward... first contact was with a corp recruiter and then followed up with a phone interview with the hiring manager. A very comprehensive background check was done. Both the recruiter and hiring manger were excellent and very professional. Questions focused on my background and history with a lot of discussion regarding roles and responsibilities. its my understanding BOA generally tries to hire from within. The feedback I was given (which is so nice because so often you never even hear back) was the my skill set was a good fit but coming from the outside I lacked mortgage experience.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
I applied online and received a call from a recruiter who invited me to a group interview. There, you had to smile and answer questions about situations posed by the recruiter. The questions generally related to how you would treat a customer. I think all the prospective applicants in the group did themselves very proud in their responses. One of the things that BofA stresses is the deivery of great customer service. After all, that how banks make money. Overall, my experience was very positive.

During the group interview process, make sure you're active and friendly. When interacting, say or do something that will make you outshine your opponents. They will ask plenty of questions about yourself and what you think about the company. When answering the questions, some how tie your past experience to the company and how it will benefit the company as a whole. They love personal experiences.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Simi Valley, CA (took a day)
The hiring and interview process was adequate. The recruitor was knowledgeable of the hiring position and provided all information needed for the job. THe interview itself was a little nerve racking due to it being on the phone instead of in person. Overall i was given the position for job and started a month later.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took 5 days)
After applying online, I received an automated email asking for a personality assessment. The assessment is very thorough with at least 250 questions and a range of available responses. Upon completion, I received a follow-up email requesting that I complete a one-hour online simulation of the job. After the simulation, I was contacted by phone by a corporate recruiter who answered questions about the position and asked basic questions like, "Describe a time when a person was upset with you, how did you know they were upset and what was the outcome?" The recruiter then scheduled a 1:1 interview in-person for the next business day. The recruiter actually gave me question answering tips and advice to help polish my responses and warned that I should expected behavioral questions.
The in-person 1:1 interview was comfortable and felt relatively short. Questions like, "Bank of America promotes a team atmosphere, describe a time when you had to work in a team?" and "Bank of America values its clients, describe a situation where you had to drop everything to assist someone and what was the outcome?" Overall the interview felt more like a conversation and the interviewer was very concerned about availability, not taking time off within the first 6 months, and a strict attendance policy. The interviewer also reviewed Bank of America policy regarding attendance, dress code, and benefits which I had to sign a form acknowledging I had been informed.
Two hours after the interview, I received an email from the corporate recruiter stating that she heard the 1:1 interview had gone very well. Shortly afterward, the recruiter called and made the job offer.

Negotiation Details
Bank of America does not provide even a vague idea of how much the position makes until they make the job offer. I would recommend researching the position online or asking a current employee who much their salary is and then ask accordingly. Bank of America asked two times what my desired salary was, I responded slightly lower than the average I found. The actual job offer was higher than what I told them I desired. Don't be shy, put the number out there.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Irvine, CA (took a day)
It was a group interview and I was very comfortable because I studies on what they where looking for in an employee. I was confident I was the right person for their job opening. I had only one interview and I thought it went well. I had a very good felling of acceptance with the interviewers.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Simi Valley, CA (took a day)
A recruiter called me and left a message on my v/m. I returned the call within 30 minutes but got his v/m. It took us 2 days to connect as he just wasn't available. When we finally did connect he went over my resume briefly and then scheduled a 1:1 interview for me to meet with the department supervisor. The interview went very well and I was clearly qualified for the position. I was told at the end of the interview by the interviewer that she would recommend I be hired for the position. Four days went by and not hearing anything I sent a quick e-mail to the recruiter thanking BofA for the interview and saying I had not heard from anyone. He told me he would look into it and get back to me. I received another e-mail saying that a different recruiter would be contacting me. The following day I received another e-mail saying I was no longer being considered for the position.
**EDIT: I received a call from the original recruiter informing me that the reason I was no longer being considered for this position is because they thought I was overqualified and wanted to know if I wanted to be considered for management positions?
I wanted to pass this info along as after I received the e-mail regarding "no longer being considered" I stopped applying to B of A.
Also, I was told by a different recruiter that if you apply for the same position twice during that hiring period it may automatically disqualify you for that position. (This may have been a ploy to keep me from working with a different recruiter, though.)

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Anaheim, CA (took 1 week)
I applied online during the weekend. got an email i think on a tuesday inviting me to a group interview that thursday. i went in and showed them my personality and smiled.asked one question from us. we did do a very easy and relaxed role playing. Interview was quite easy and she only really it went well and got called back from the recruiter about 4 hours later to interview with the branch manager the next day. she went over my employment history and the fact that i had too many jobs in the past was not good. they do a thorough background check and if anything comes up unsatisfactory through a third party company, you cannot get hired. i probably won't get the job because of my employment history by having too many short term jobs and i left out one employment that i forgot about. still going to go to my branch manager interview tomorrow and hope somehow my background is not a big deal...
