Fantastic Perks, Boring Work, A Few Fun People, Safe Place To Be A Lifer

Applications engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Perks, 5 week vacations (25 work days, includes some holidays), financial compensation. I enjoyed my stay at Wells Fargo, which was all of 4 years. I enjoyed working with my teammates and it was fun at first, but then it dragged on.

Cons

Politics, boring work, older employees aren't too exciting... ;) Our VP was not very competent although he had other VPs to compensate for his weaknesses.

Good place to work, but it depends....

Pros

An employee’s experience at Wells Fargo depends a lot upon his or her manager. I think my manager is one of the best managers I have ever had in my 25-plus year working career (only a few of those years at WF.) I think WF is a great place for work-life balance. I am sometimes annoyed that I can’t reach a colleague after 5pm, but I have to respect the fact that they have lives and WF makes that easy to do. Lastly, the benefits are good for a company this size in this day and age. Not Google-good benefits, but pretty good for a large bank.

Cons

Despite the existence of an internal program to break down silos, WF is still a VERY silo’d organization. WF doesn’t really walk the talk when they talk about crossing organizational boundaries to serve the customer better. If they really meant what they said about breaking down silos they would put something in everybody’s MBO’s. However, I don’t know anybody’s MBO’s, other than perhaps that internal program, who include cross-organizational objectives. From some of my friends who work at WF there can be managers who are inconsiderate, hyper, arrogant, part of an “old boys” network. Management doesn’t seem to believe in management by walking around. I’m pretty far down the organization chain and I’ve never met any managers more than three levels above me despite the fact that the project I’m working on is supposed to be of strategic significance to our division.

Should Make It Through the Storm

Pros

Strong company, should be a survivor during these difficult economic times.

Cons

Very large company. Heavily regulated industry requires employees to expend significant amounts of time and energy on compliance issues. Currently, the company is feeling the stress of being a big player in the troubled housing industry.
