I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wells Fargo (Houston, TX) in Aug 2010
Interview
There were two interviews in this process, the first of which was an on-site meeting with HR. The second interview consisted of 10 30-minute interviews with various managers. Overall, the 2nd interview was a bit disappointing. While some interviewers asked questions to evaluate my background, most did not ask much of anything. There were several interviews where I was asked one question, then the interviewer spent the majority of the time talking about the program, and then opened it up for my questions. Either they don't know how to conduct interviews, or they just were not prepared. One thing that I thought was extremely rude and unprofessional was that they never responded to my follow-ups, and sent me an impersonal form rejection letter.

Question 1
Is EBITDA a proxy for cash flow? Why is it not a good measure?
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)
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Wells Fargo (Boston, MA) in May 2021
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.
