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 Aug 2011 in Phoenix, AZ (took 1 week)
They claimed they needed contact software engineers on a contract basis, but after 18 months is was a mandatory layoff folowed by a 6 month waiting period. The pay rate was below average for software contract engineer. The panel interview was disorganized and all they asked were a series of closed-ended questions about C++ and general random software concepts such as multithreading. If you memorize a C++ book and buzzwords in job description, you might pass the interview. If one of your answers doesnt exactly fit what they are thinking, you fail the interview. If this is how Wells Fargo treats software developers, I am glad I got turned down for the job and not working at Wells Fargo.
But my best advice to pass the interviews there are memoize a good C++ book well before the interview, and brush up on your computer science fundamentals or whatever buzzwords are in job description. Be prepared for answering "closed ended" memorization questions.

Interviewed May 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took 4+ weeks)
I was a former employee when I applied, I had quit and joined the military. After the phone interview I attended a group interview about a week later. About a week after the group interview I was contacted by the branch manager to attend an 1:1 interview with the service manager. I did really well, however, I didn't get a call back. I later found out I had passed the interview they just "forgot" to contact me. 2 weeks after that interview the recruiter had apologized and sent my resume to another branch. At that point I was just over wells fargo but about 7pm that night the service manager from the branch had contacted me and wanted to know if I would be able to attend an interview the next morning at 10:00am. I arrived 10 mins before the interview, and for some reason they for got they had a meeting the same time as my interview and I wasnt seen until 10:45am. The interview was pretty much cake, he pretty much told me I got the job because Im over qualified and I was a former employee.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
I applied online throught the wells fargo website. Acouple days later received an email to invite me for a group interview that following wednesday. When I got there, there was already 5 people but more was coming. The group was a totally of 10. Everyone have to introduced their selves and talk about prior work experience. Wells fargo are very big on sales. They want tellers to recommend products to the customers and than send them over to personal bankers so they can complete the transaction. They all about working as a team. HR lady told us about the company and all the benefits the company offer to its employees. She asked questions, since it was a group interview we had to go one by one to answer. My best advice is try to go within the first three to answer because after that everyone basically say the same thing but worded differently. Some of the questions was based on sales and customer service.
1) your most significant sales? did you received any recognition? what did you learn about yourself?
2) think of a situation where you really went out of your way to provide excellent customer service? what was the outcome? what impacted the customer most? what impacted you the most? did you received any recognition?
After the interview the HR lady ask did anyone have questions and told the group everyone will be receiving an email or phone call to let them know if they continue on to the next level of the hiring process. Yours truly didn't make the finally cut. I received an email the following wednesday letting me know i will not be continuing in the hiring process due to my low experience. By the way i only did cashier for a few months compare to others who did it for years so i wasn't surprise. Overall it was a good experience for me because i know what i need to do to become a teller. I hope this helps others and sorry for it being so long. Good luck to all the job seekers out there.... =)

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Orlando, FL (took 2 days)
I applied and after I took a online test within 2 hours I got a call inviting me to a tellers group interview the following week. I was a teller in another bank before plus a got a bachelor degree I was very confident! They were 8 more candidates on the group interview and consist in basic questions; where had you work before, why you want to work with us...interview takes around 3 hours since you have to wait for everybody to answer the question, you fill a paper with your availability and desiring pay rate. They told us you will get a call for an 1:1 interview with the service manager at the branch or an email in case you were not selected within 3 days.
I got home and I got an email right away from the recruiter asking more about my availability to work after I answer she calls me back the same day and asking about the pay rate. The told me the can't pay me more than $11.00 ph and I told her that was ok with me as long my hours were guaranty.( I was asking for $12.50 on the application) . After we spoke about the pay she offers me to meet the service manager the following day to meet her and have a 1:1 interview with her. Also the recruiter told me the training will start 1st week of January 2012. At this point I was basically thinking I got hired. ( they offer me pay rate and training start day)
The 1:1 interview took around 40 minutes plus and I had to wait for her since she was interviewing another candidate. The interview was very easy for me since I was a teller before we spoke about benefits and she wasn't very exiting talking about them since she was a former employee from Wachovia she told they had better benefits before (very unprofessional from her to say that). She told me she was going to go on a Christmas vacationthat day and I will heard from her on 12/16 when she comes back to let me know the training start day and the next steps of the recruiting process. After 3 days after 12/16 I decided to email the recruiter that told me about my pay rate and sent me to the 1:! interview asking her that I was waiting for the service manager to ger in contact with me after her vacation and if the position still available. They send me a generic email 2 hours later telling me they were moving forward with other candidates...
Very disappointing because I waste 2 weeks that I didn't applied to other jobs thinking that I was selected. my advise: don't get to exited if the same thing happens to you and keep looking for other jobs on the side. I was the most qualify for the position in the interview nobody else worked as a teller before and also have a college degree and full availability to work I understand that's why the offer me a pay rate and sent me to a 1:1 interview within 1 day. Sad the1:1 interview was a joke or I guess she already wanted somebody else for the position. There lose not mine now I got a better job with another bank and closer to my home with better benefits.
Overall the interview is easy if you have experience in a bank or related job before.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Irvine, CA (took a day)
For the phone interview: basic interview questions about work history and availability. A few days later, I got an email to come for a group interview, there were 12 applicants in the group interview and 1 interviewer and it was scenario type interview questions. You should have in mind various customer service scenarios from your past. The point is it has to be sales related and focus on your desire for competition. Their start hourly wage is $10. It was a really long interview, so make sure you do not look tired. I guess you should not wait too long to answer the questions. They give you a couple of minutes to think and write down your thoughts, but just be ready ahead and try to be one of the first people who answer.

The people there were very friendly. The manager wasn't completely forward with exactly what to expect when hired. It was a great way to meet people in the community.
