Wells Fargo Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Lengthy process of around 90 days with 6 rounds of interview and much procrastination, which showed a very risk-averse and over-cautious culture. This wasn't a senior job! The HR person didn't give feedback or updates for a month after all the interviews were done and I was at offer stage.

Interview Details Phone and face to face interview; technical interview.

Negotiation Details – Job agency

Interview Details Went for an interview in the city, was a very informal interview. No real technical questions were asked. The interviewer wanted to know more on my background and prvious work experiences.

Interview Details I applied online and was contacted almost immediately to set up a phone interview. The interviewer was over forty minutes late in calling me, but aside from that the interview was very easy and went well. Standard questions were asked about general knowledge of computers and work history, as well as sales specific questions. I was then contacted to set up an in person interview. Again, the interviewer was late by twenty minutes (notice a trend?), and the interview was not with who I was originally told it would be with, yet the interview seemed fairly easy. He asked me questions about my sales experience and experience previously working in a call center. The interview was informal, and the interviewer seemed to avoid eye contact and appeared more nervous than I was.I thought the interview went very well, but was informed that they were interviewing a huge number of applicants so I figured I had at least a 50/50 shot. When I arrived home I had already received an email telling me that my job history was not what they were looking for, which seemed odd considering they knew all of this beforehand. My only guess is that they had already filled the position or Wells Fargo is just an extremely disorganized bunch that do not properly vet their applicants before bringing them in for interviews.

Interview Details Getting past HR is the hardest part. I have gotten 2 employees hired and they are very successful, but it took over a year each to get them past the gatekeepers. Their recruiting process is strange. It appears that they cannot see talent. The 2 people I got in were very desirous to work in the banking industry and had the right background. But there were not given a chance. I also have 2 other employees that never made it past the first interview. I told them to keep trying, but they gave up and moved on. Even if HR gets you an interview, you have to apply for one position at one location. Chances are, this position was already filled or that the manager won't like you. Then, you have to start all over again. For the most part, the questions asked mask a hidden agenda. In other words, the interviewer is looking for eye contact, confidence, mannerisms and other details, even though the question does not reflect their intentions. All is not up and up. Best to know someone in the company first...

Reason for Declining – They offered part time teller position. I turned it down for the pay was too little. I interviewed in another district and got the position I wanted. But I have a longer drive.

Interview Details One the most uncomfortable and stressful interview situations I have encountered, ultimately with a negative outcome. After a phone screen with HR and the hiring manager, I was scheduled to meet about 15 people back-to-back from 9 until 2. There were several panel interviews and a few individual sessions. All of the interviews comprised behavioral questions. I didnt get the sense anyone was interested in knowing me personally or professionally, but rather assessing how I would fit into their open slot. After the grueling sessions, I received a call from HR the next day explaining that I didn't have enough recent management experience and therefore I wouldn't be further considered. Couldn't they have gleaned that from my resume or phone screen? They ultimately hired someone I know, who is quite mediocre. Sounds like I have sour grapes, but truly not. I'm glad in the end it didn't work out, because I wouldn't want to work for people like that.

Interview Details First interview was a group interview with the recruiter, and store manager. The next interview was alone with the store manager and service manager.

Negotiation Details – i did not negotiate.

Interview Details I applied Friday and received a call Saturday for a Monday morning interview. I met with both the store and regional managers to just review my resume. They explained the position and we discussed my career goals. After I filled out the assessment online I scheduled a group interview for the following week. The interview was on Tuesday with three other people, and was with a recruiter, who asked for intros, two questions, and then lectured about the company, position, and benefits. She said we would either get a call (hired) or email (not hired) by Thursday or Friday, and Thursday morning she called with an offer.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation. Base amount was told at group interview and was same at time of offer.

Interview Details Applied online and got an email for a group interview. The group interview went well and then I was called by the recruiter for a second interview with the branch manager. I was interviewed by two branch managers. Given this was my first interview ever i guess it was kinda of expected for me to be turned down. After the interview i never heard anything from WF again.
