I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Wells Fargo (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2023
Interview
Zoom link did not work so the interview was late and subsequently cut down by 10 minutes. Group zoom meeting with ~20 interviewers and ~10 interviewees. Each interviewee was then placed with two interviewers for a breakout room interview. Then, a 15 minute interview where they ask the basic "Describe a time where..." questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"Describe a time where you encountered a challenge and how did you overcome that challenge?"
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.

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.
