Wells Fargo reviews

Politics, boring work, older employees aren't too exciting... ;) Our VP was not very competent although he had other VPs to compensate for his weaknesses.

Despite the existence of an internal program to break down silos, WF is still a VERY silo’d organization. WF doesn’t really walk the talk when they talk about crossing organizational boundaries to serve the customer better. If they really meant what they said about breaking down silos they would put something in everybody’s MBO’s. However, I don’t know anybody’s MBO’s, other than perhaps that internal program, who include cross-organizational objectives. From some of my friends who work at WF there can be managers who are inconsiderate, hyper, arrogant, part of an “old boys” network. Management doesn’t seem to believe in management by walking around. I’m pretty far down the organization chain and I’ve never met any managers more than three levels above me despite the fact that the project I’m working on is supposed to be of strategic significance to our division.
