The bank claims they are focusing on acquiring young and diverse talent but this is not apparent. However there is are good networking opportunities and most people I have met and friendly and want to help you learn.

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Wells Fargo

    • Find out what things should and shouldn't run in a workplace and how you should be treated. I wasn't aware of certain things that shouldn't be accepted and so I thought this was the norm but it wasn't. There were some things I should have raised as unfair.
