I applied through university. I interviewed at Wells Fargo (Charlotte, NC) in Feb 2024
Interview
Candidate is expected to use the STAR method when responding. You are asked a few behavioral questions and a few technical questions. The most difficult part was understanding the interviewer, who had a heavy accent.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to communicate a technical issue to a nontechnical team. Explain the situation, what action did you take, and what were the results?
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.
