Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Ask questions about the business model of the business group: its funding sources, the consumer of the products / services rendered by the group, and the business group's relationship to other groups in the bank. Ask about the rest of the employees in the business group and their level of education, types of services, etc. Two key questions for Wells Fargo interviewers:The tenure level of your coworkers is important, i.e., how long have people in your group been with the bank How is their job satisfaction level My experience has been that the job satisfaction ratings / morale were consistently low even while the tenure level was frequently very high (many people wearing the Golden Handcuffs at work)."

What don't you like about working at Wells Fargo?

"It is the single largest private employer in the world. It is massive, but it is like working in a small company in a hidden shadow economy, doing business with other companies within the larger parent company. Where you work in Wells Fargo is very important because all of the funding focuses on whether you work for a cost center or a profit center of the business. Funding is much harder to come by in cost centers. It can be incredibly difficult to get anything done in such a large company because of 1) All of the security / legal / financial regulations that constrain every decision that is made in the financial industry, and 2) It can be very difficult to get other groups within the bank to work with you when you need their resources to complete a project, because each group within the organization acts like a separate / competing private enterprise with it's own agenda, financial priorities, and sometimes competing interests. Some divisions and groups within the bank are much better organized, better educated, more savvy, and more professional. Some are abysmally bad. Choose your group wisely."
