Multiple rounds of interview with recruiter screening, technical (coding + design), meeting managers and team-leaders.
A lot of focus on previous roles and past experience. Design questions seemed the hardest for someone who hasn't worked in the banking sector before, coding was not that complicated.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked about insights on a payment processing system that stays operational if one data center goes down considering failover mechanisms, data integrity, and consistency handling.
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at Wells Fargo (Compton, CA) in Feb 2026
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.
