I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bank of America (New York, NY) in Dec 2011
Interview
The hiring process was rather slow and cumbersome mind you I did interview in December. I passed the FIAT and had to present a business plan. The interview went well and I was told I was to proceed to the penultimate stage in the hiring process which was an interview with the complex branch manager.
After Xmas I called the manager's secretary to arrange a date for the interview but she kept telling me that people in the office had not yet come back from holiday. This continued to happen until the second week of January! I called the individuals who interviewed me and they were surprised at the secretary's explanation. The next call I received was from HR telling me the complex director had a "change of heart" in the kind of trainees' background he was hiring. "Huh"?!
Left a sour taste after the process not so much of the decline in offer but the fact that the secretary LIED to me about what was going on. Otherwise the interview process was very good. I guess I had bad-luck with the whole process. Shame...

I applied online. I interviewed at Bank of America (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2018
Interview
I applied for the job online and completed the online test which consisted of behavioral questions ( example) what would I likely do in a situation to what I would least likely do etc. I was then contacted 2weeks after for a telephone interview after which I was eventually contacted to set up a face to face interview. The face to face interview went fairly well however it did take over a month before I finally was contacted and an offer made. I really thought I didn’t get the job but it turned out otherwise.
