I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bank of America in Jan 2011
Interview
An HR generalist called first. No technical questions at all. She was just gauging my interest in the position.
Followed a few days later by the head of the department. This was brief maybe 30 minutes. Most of the time on the phone was going over my resume.
The interview was mostly behavioral and focused on making sure I was a good personality fit with the group. A few technical questions but they were vague and you did not have to answer them specifically. Along the lines of what would you do if __________ happened.

Was a pretty straight forward and simple interview process. The questions asked where the standard for the finance industry. Experience with the P&L, Forecasting, budgeting, etc. Work-life balance was also a topic I asked about to which they gave a relatively fair and honest answer.

Question 1
What is one challenge that you dealt with and overcame that you are proud of?
It was super easy and very standard interview process. Very generic and by the book, nothing unusual to mention. Did an interview and then another interview and then another interview.
Pretty straight forward, background and behavior questions. Some knowledge questions regarding how you would do things, Also about why you chose this profession and why you think it would fit you.
