Software Developer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Hour-long written code test followed by two rounds of interviews, with about three people in each round. Some brain teasers were included. The code test was very difficult and gave me a big headache, but my degree in Computer Information Systems and certifications were a big help. I received an offer from another bank, and they beat the other offer.

- 1.0Worst experience ever. The bank has no interest in employeesSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJune 29, 2018Pros: Boss bought drinks and food occasionally. Good pay (when they don’t try and change your hours).Cons: The management team does not know how to steer the company in the correct direction. The technology is at least 5 years behind competitors. My manager would change my hours so I would get underpaid. The work was extremely boring. The bank wastes so much money on nonsense (new initiatives and programs), which makes development work more expensive and less efficient. This job gave me great insight as to why I will never use Bank of America for my general banking or my wealth management.
