Ended up having three different interviews with 4 different people. The first two interviews (one with the recruiter and one with the district manager) went great. Good conversations lots of information about the company, position and expectations. First interview was via phone and 2nd was via Webex with camera on lasting between 30 and 60 minutes respectively. Both interviews were very upbeat and polite. The 3rd interview had two men and was via Webex. One of the men was late to the interview and once he arrived seemed distracted and as though he wasn't really paying attention. Neither turned their cameras on which in my mind solidified the fact that he wasn't fully paying attention and was multi tasking at the same time. When it came time for him to ask questions he struggled to put a sentence together and talked in circles with papers shuffling in the background like he wasn't prepared. It was a completely different experience from the first two interviews and made me feel as though I wasn't worth his time. The whole process took more then a month and a half and ended with a generic thanks for applying but we went with someone else, then a week later they reposted the position. All in all the 3rd interview left a bad taste in my mouth and was a poor representation of Bank of America.

I was called by a recruiter three months after I applied. The recruiter asked me if I would be available for an interview in a few days. When he called me back he asked me a few simple questions. What's my management style? How do I instill teamwork? How do I motivate my team? Etc... Two days later he called me back and wanted me to meet with a manager 2 hours away. That was a second interview. It was supposed to be 30 minutes, it was 90 minutes. Two mangers asked me everything from my education, to my experience to what I know about Bank of America. I did my research so was well equipped. They told me they would be in touch but it may be a while. 4 days later the recruiter called me back and asked me to go to another interview with another manager. Unbeknown to me it turned out to be more of a meet and greet. The manager asked about my life and tried to get to know me. That same day the recruiter called me back and said she would be in touch with "good news." Two days later she called me back and offered me the job and a pretty fair salary. I accepted and they gave me a start date in a few weeks. After starting the background, I had to do some running around, but it was pretty basic. Then a week before starting they called me and told me I did not pass the background. I asked why and she stated she had no idea. I'm not sure what happened and there is literally nothing negative in my history. No criminal behavior, no financial issues and no terminations of employment. All attempts to find out why they didn't clear me have remained fruitless. Add too that the fact that I have passed multiple security clearances for the military without issue and it simply makes no sense. After being offered no rationale for they're denial, I have decided to have nothing to do with them.

This was an internal promotion. The bank can be slow to respond and make decisions. You typically start with an online assessment then a telephone interview. And finally one or more 1 on 1 interviews.
