"I've worked at Bank of America for over two years. I began doing loan processing for FHA loans and moved up to loan auditing. I spent the last 18 months of my job auditing the underwriters work and making sure the underwriter followed policy and procedures set by the government. Normally I would fail about 40% of the underwriting work due to minor errors. Overall it was a great experience and I hope I will land another job as motivating and as positive as the job I previously had with BofA."

"It's a very big company and hence also very bureaucratic."
