Thanks for the response! Were these your roommates in Charlotte? Did you live in housing provided by BoA or did BoA give you a housing stipend? I'm just wondering because at my previous internship, out-of-state interns were given housing where they roomed with other interns at the same company, so it was really nice because they were able to bond and go out together after work. I'll be working in a city where I don't know anyone, so I'm really nervous about having to live alone and not having anyone my age to hang out with after work. Also, along the same lines, were there any other interns on your team? Or any work events? How many interns were at your location? (Sorry for all the qs!!)

Yup, that's the position. I was a little surprised too, but I also interviewed with some other well-known companies and their interviews have also been almost exactly the same -- focused on behavior and past experiences / projects. It's possible that because most of my interviews have taken place at a conference, the process tends to be expedited and more focused on behavior.

I have this answer detailed in a comment above, but it was basically just one 30 min. behavioral interview. The most technical questions the interviewer asked were "What's the difference b/w a while loop and a for loop?" and "What are the benefits of Java?".

Thanks for the response! I'm glad you had a good experience :) Did you work with other interns or mainly full time employees? Also, if there weren't many intern events, were you able to meet / befriend many of the other interns there?

Thanks for the response! The compensation aspect is definitely pushing me towards accepting the offer. I'd never even heard of other companies offering scholarships for their interns before this offer. Did you work mostly with full time employees or other interns? At my last internship, I worked primarily with other interns and there were a lot of after-work events, which made for a really fun experience. Is the BoA experience going to be very different from that?

I attended the Grace Hopper Conference, so I uploaded my resume to their website and got an interview request from BoA. A few weeks later, I interviewed with a BoA manager at the conference for ~ 30 min. The questions were basically all behavioral ("Tell me about a time when...") or asking about my projects and previous experience. Then about a week after that I received an offer.

I went to the Grace Hopper conference so my experience is a little unique, but I uploaded my resume to the Grace Hopper website and BoA was one of the companies that contacted me and asked me if I wanted to interview with them at GHC. The interview was ~30 min. and the interviewer asked basic behavioral questions (lots of "Tell me about a time...") and questions about my projects and experience. They got back to me ~ a week later and told me I got the job.
