Limited benefits in a micromanaged, stressful environment

Personal banker

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

holiday pay.. that's about it

Cons

The environment can feel very metrics-driven and heavily micromanaged. there is strong pressure around meeting goals and performance expectations and employees may feel closely monitored throughout the day. A lot of my coworkers I worked with felt stressed and wanted to leave. if you work well under structure, constant accountability and performance tracking it may be a good fit for you. OTHERWISE do not work here!

In general run away, you don't want this.

Principal engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

diversity, equality, and inclusion are strong

Cons

Work Life Balance and Job expectations are ridiculous. Hybrid work 3 days in office (which is measured for entry/exit and computer activity. Expectation is working overtime for software releases and working with India. Make a good deal coming in and expect Wells Fargo to meet the minimum of your deal (if you get a bonus, expect them to pay some portion in stock instead of cash, which forces you to keep it for years unless you want the capital gains tax hit), unrealistic deadlines (leadership without knowledge of what it takes to deliver software), software release processes exist, but are followed to bare minimums due to time pressures on the job, forced relocation to another office, poor food options (literally inedible hot food options), paid parking if you want safety in crime area, lots of pressure from top down to deliver, not so veiled threats (as a principal engineer that's these are the expectations in my group...), in general run away, you don't want this.
