      Difficult Interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bank of America.

      Interview

      First phase was the phone interview, background questions, light object-oriented design questions. Second phase was the in-person interview, with a written test of C++, C#, algorithms, and basic SQL. I also met members of the team, who tested my knowledge in a similar manner.

      Easy Interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bank of America in November 2016.

      Interview

      It was standard. One phone screen and a final round of two phone interviews. The first screener was 5 minutes late to the call. For the final round screen, I was apparently supposed to receive a call on time but did not. I waited for 10 minutes before contacting the recruiter again. The recruiter told me that the interviewer in fact did call, and I did not pick up. I was watching my phone the entire time and explained that my call history did not have anybody from BoA, and I had full bars. The second call came through 15 minutes later, and that went fine. I asked the recruiter if I could redo the first call, but it seems that the recruiter didn't believe my explanation and refused to call me back. In the end, it took 4 more weeks to process my application, and I had to email the recruiter back to check up on the process.

      Easy Interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bank of America (Chicago, IL) in May 2016.

      Interview

      1 Phone Interview, non-technical
      2 In-Person Interviews, first was about 3 hrs, second was about 3 hrs 30. Mix of technical.

      Technical questions weren't difficult. Everyone was friendly and polite.
      Mostly went through experience on resume and some behavioral questions.

      I knew I was competing with another candidate and ultimately I figured he expressed greater interest in the job than I did since I had good, but different technical experience not relevant to finance.

      Easy Interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bank of America (Holmdel, NJ) in February 2016.

      Interview

      I applied through on-campus recruitment last year (Spring 2016) for a software development intern position inclined towards UX, and cleared the first round, where I was asked design and logical reasoning related questions.
      The next 3 rounds were in NJ. The first 2 of these 3 rounds were just perfect. The panel members loved me. However, the third round was with a lady who just didn't seem to care about what I had to say. She then handed me a bunch of sheets and asked me to solve the problems on it. Totally lost and flustered by what was going on, I quickly started solving them with confidence but with a little slow speed. And before I could complete it, she took it away. I somehow did not like the experience and her attitude. And funnily didn't get the offer either. :(

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiting company that set up a phone interview that was partly technical and partly about my background. The technical component was about object oriented concepts and multi threading along with some basic algorithms. The interviewer was very helpful and overall it was a positive experience.
