This was laughably bad. I would generally implore you to stay away as a software engineer.
BoA is trying to recruit top tech talent from the West Coast, but they have people from London calling you and because of the time difference you have to have the call at 8AM.
Ah yes, screw coffee, getting a rapid fire of Java Trivia from an irked British man is how I wake up!
Somehow I can be working at one of the biggest top tech companies in the world, get onsites at Google/Facebook/Microsoft easy, yet I get filtered out right away by some trivia questions.
Clarification: I am not mad that I didn't know the questions. I promise I am putting most of my ego aside for this. A lot of these Midwest style interview questions are the same things asked over and over, so this won't take more than a couple of weeks of prep for me to memorize.
And that's why I'm mad: that talent is being filtered by these trivia questions that you don't use in production and that just take 2 weeks of rote learning to master and that's what makes a "good engineer", that coding style questions at least give you a vehicle to communicate and use the fundamentals you've learned/memorized and none of that is being used here, and that BoA has the audacity to be using these questions in 2018, provide no other means for a phone screen then a grainy 8AM phone call from across the pond, and wants to attract tech talent and market themselves as a top shop for that.
Pathetic.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bank of America
Interview
Coding questions of easy-level leet code and mostly behavioral questions. you dont have to get the coding questions completely right - as long as you explain your thoughts outloud in the video interview, those answers will be accepted
