Interviewed Nov 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 weeks)
The hiring process consisted of 3 rounds of interviews. For me, the first was with senior leaders in the group (3 of them), the second was with managers (4 of them), and the last was with the top executive of the group (1 person). All were 1:1.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was told not to negotiate, so I did not. In this climate and with such a great program, take the offer if it works for you.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 2 weeks)
The interview process was fairly long. I first did a pre-screening interview on the phone, then a 2:1 interview in their office. A week later, they called me for another interview. It was a little bit tiresome for the pay they were offering. The first two interviews went well compared to the last one which was more technical.

Interviewed May 2010 in Minneapolis, MN (took 5+ weeks)
First I met with the employee who referred me's manager. Had lunch and got to know each other and interests. Subsequently went through four rounds of interviews before landing the job offer. Was able to skip to the "final round" for three different positions. So it was long. The people were not professional interviewers but rather your potential coworkers. They asked varied questions and most were really not related to finance or anything technical but focused on character and personality.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3+ weeks)
I applied on our campus job site and got an on-campus interview a few days later. The on-campus interview was very behavioral, and then I was invited to a second interview in their office. The office interview consisted of multiple interviews with their employees and tougher accounting and technical questions.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I knew one of the Financial Analyst Program managers who sent out my resume to Wells Fargo recruiters so I got to skip the first round (which I have heard is a phone interview where they grill you with Finance/Accounting questions). I was sent directly to the office to have face-to-face interview with the group that I would be working with. I met with the Office Manager and two SVPs. It was mainly straightforward and I was mainly asked personality/fit questions, as well as past experiences. There was only one question that had to do with the actual work. The third round was with another Financial Analyst Program manager who asked questions about the Company as well as Accounting questions.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Phone interview and then brought me into the work place. Told me it would take 1 week to hear back and I had to call to receive even a hint that the offer was sent to someone else. No email or letter received for a formal decline. No response from emails either....

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Irvine, CA (took 5 months)
My recruiter phoned with the opportunity, and an interview was set weeks out. Months after the interview, follow-up was performed.
I was offered the job months following the interview.
The ongoing merger allowed the hiring manager to practice poor communication and solely recruit and interview.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
A 10% salary increase was negotiated before starting work.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Staffing Agency and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.
