Interview
My experience interviewing with Wells Fargo was extremely disappointing. I applied online in July and received an email in September informing me that I had been selected for a first round phone interview. The interview went really well and the manager that interviewed me said that I would be moving on to the next round. He said that someone from HR would be reaching out to me during the next week to schedule the next round of interviews. Two weeks later I received an email saying that I was selected for a final round interview and that a member of the recruiting team would be getting in touch with me soon. Two more weeks went by and I received an automated rejection email. I emailed the HR rep and she said I was still being considered for the position. When I asked when the final round interview would be, I was told that no updates would be available for at least another week.
Their recruiting process is clearly not organized well and takes far too much time to complete. It's just unreasonable to be keep candidates waiting 4 months between the time they applied and the final round interview. This is a great way to lose qualified candidates, especially when recruiting for finance positions happens so early in the fall.
Contacted by an analyst and recruiter for an interview. Review based on initial phone screen. Selected for final round interview. Very nice interviewer and good behavior-based questions about my experiences. Simple questions about finance (the statements)

Interview
Took about a month, since applying, to get scheduled for a first round. There are 2 rounds, although some people will have to pass a recruiter/HR screen first (I skipped this step).
My first round consisted of basic get to know you questions, some behavioral stuff, and the last question was a technical question asking me to explain the financial statements and how they tie together. 3 hours after my interview I received a follow up for a final round interview. I've never heard back from an employer that fast before. Second round was the same thing but they asked a question regarding how I would deem a pizza shop credit worthy. After 2 months of waiting, I didn't get the job.

I applied online. I interviewed at Wells Fargo (Blacksburg, VA) in Mar 2021
Interview
It was a pretty standard interview process. The position I was applying for was not clear and I quickly changed my mind mid interview. Wells Fargo is a great company, it just did not fit what I was looking for.
