Wells Fargo

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours, work from home, Microsoft, Java, Database, or UI developers have state of the art tools and related technologies available to them.

Cons

Application development/maintenance is heavily influenced by a chaotic production environment. You will spend your day in meetings, supporting production defects/outages, reacting to planned/unplanned events like tons of security patching/upgrades. IT policy changes from day-to-day with poor communication. Application customers are a nightmare -- you ending up telling them what their application does, they don't know (due to an equally chaotic corporate environment). Good luck getting quality code written, unless you do that on your own time. Did I mention chaotic?

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay. Working from home. Great team

Cons

New "Leadership" is trying to get 60,000 tech employees on identical one-size-fits-all agile schedule. Also a big push for "Co-Location" that leaves remote workers at a big disadvantage when it comes to growth opportunities.

More goods than bad. But still annoying

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay if this is your first “real” job. Great health benefits.

Cons

It can be draining talking to customers all day while also trying to meet all of criteria. They only want you to be on calls for about 2-4 minutes. Never forget to say a script or you will receive a bad grade in QA. Adherence is the worse thing ever. So if you’re someone who drinks a lot of water try not to, bathroom breaks may cause you to lose your job.
