I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wells Fargo (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview
Application -> Online Assessment -> HR Round -> Hiring Manager (and any additional online assessments, if necessary).
When I applied, the job description seemed to be catered towards backend development (the assessment was also testing me for DSA + SQL). When reaching the interview, it seemed as if the location suddenly changed and HR was letting me know that they were hiring for frontend only, without communicating any changes. I was still very excited to have an opportunity and let HR know that I was excited to continue moving forward. I was told that I'd receive next steps within 2 weeks but ended up being ghosted for 3 weeks before receiving communication that the role is no longer being filled.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How many years of experience do you have in performing frontend engineering?
They had 3 rounds.
1) Pre screening hackerrank test.
2) The 1st round tested coding skills in which they asked to solve 2 leetcode medium questions with interviewer on call.
3) Managerial round being about past projects and managerial questions.
The interview was good. After the behavioral questions I got asked a bunch of OOP and high level system design questions. The interviewer was polite throughout and gave me hints when I was stuck or couldn't remember something specifically.
I applied online. I interviewed at Wells Fargo (Compton, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
The recruiter was helpful and professional, and took the time to explain the process and the role in detail.
However, my experience with the hiring manager was less positive. During the conversation it felt like the communication style was quite condescending, with an assumption that others lacked understanding of the topics being discussed.
Overall, the recruiting process itself was organized well, but the interaction with the hiring manager made me reconsider whether this would be the right team environment for me.
