BofA Corporate Banking SA 2025

I recently got a request for a HireVue interview at BofA within their Corporate Banking division for 2025 summer analyst role. I'm well versed with most of the basic HireVue questions, but was wondering if anyone else has done it in the past and if there's any curveballs specific to the Corporate Banking div. Thanks!

 

Based on the most helpful WSO content, HireVue interviews across various divisions, including Corporate Banking, tend to follow a similar structure but can have nuances based on the division's specific focus. While the context provided doesn't specify unique questions for the Corporate Banking division at Bank of America, we can infer from the general patterns observed in HireVue interviews for investment banking roles that you should be prepared for a mix of behavioral, situational, and possibly division-specific technical questions.

  1. Behavioral Questions: These are designed to assess your past behavior in different situations as a predictor of your future behavior. Common questions include:

    • Describe a situation where you had to work with a difficult team member. How did you handle it?
    • Tell us about a time you had to meet a tight deadline. What was the situation, and what was the outcome?
  2. Situational Questions: These questions assess your problem-solving and critical thinking skills by placing you in hypothetical scenarios. Examples might include:

    • Imagine you're working on a project for a client, and you receive conflicting instructions from two senior members of your team. How would you proceed?
    • If you noticed a small error in a report that had already been sent to the client, what would you do?
  3. Technical Questions: While more common in interviews for roles with a heavy analytical component, you might still encounter questions that test your understanding of corporate banking fundamentals. These could include:

    • Can you explain the difference between corporate banking and investment banking?
    • How would you assess the creditworthiness of a potential corporate client?
  4. Division-Specific Questions: Given the focus on Corporate Banking, be prepared to discuss why you're interested in this division specifically. Questions could be:

    • Why are you interested in Corporate Banking at Bank of America?
    • Can you discuss a recent transaction or news story involving Bank of America's Corporate Banking division and your thoughts on it?

Remember, the key to succeeding in a HireVue interview is not just about knowing the right answers but also about how you present them. Practice speaking clearly and confidently, maintain good eye contact with the camera, and ensure you're in a quiet, well-lit space for the interview. Good luck!
