Wells Fargo reviews

Like all big companies, there are office politics. But if you focus on yourself, do your work, and perform well consistently, you will do great. Required to work from the office. The work from home option is there but you can only use it on occasions. No work from remote permanent option. Once you get noticed and are given more work and responsibilities your work-life balance gets seriously scewed. Anywhere up to 40 - 55 hours per week is normal at that point. Weekend work is there not always but often times.

Poor company/staff moral. Lots of layoffs and on the banking side you are forced to reapply for the job you currently have. No surprise when the keep only the people they can pay less. If you are in a field that isn't banking specific then the upper level management runs the show but doesn't know how things operate at the lower levels. In the WF tech world its normal to see managers overseeing an engineering group who have no engineering experience. Mid level/upper level management in tech fields are normally MBA's with a finance background who know little about the systems they support. Most of the systems and processes make no sense. Every 2-3 years everything changes depending on who's in charge and before the dust settles it changes again... usually to the way it was prior. You can bet that management will always go for the cheaper option vs the better option. Scandal after scandal after government mandate was caused by poor sr. management. Many of those managers are still around but were moved to different areas of the bank.
