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 Sep 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 1 week)
I applied on the wells fargo site , about a month before they contacted me . They called and set up a phone interview .. which were basic Q&A questions . I got offered to come talk to TWO recruiting mngrs the next day ! The interview process/ questions were situational questions . It was quick and straight forward and they made me feel very comfortable . They briefly went over the position again and told me the next step // they called me the following day to offer me the position !

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 5 days)
Group interview with ten other potential candidates. Process was very unorganized, and not appealing. Not many questions to ask and we were not given a ton of time to think of a response.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Eagan, MN (took 2 months)
The job was an internal posting but I was required to complete an online application and submit my resume. I submitted a functional resume for this job. Human Resources always does a pre-screening and then will recommend you to the hiring manager if you meet their criteria. At the end of every HR screening I ask what the next steps are, how long it will take for me to hear from someone and if they thought I was a good fit for the job. I always ask if they will recommend me to the hiring manager. In this case, they said yes. It took a couple of weeks to hear back from the hiring manager to set up an interview at another location. I went to the interview and a peer of the hiring manager showed up a few minutes after the interview started. The manager introduced him and said that he was there to observe and maybe ask a few questions. He had a copy of my resume with several items highlighted. She would ask a question, I would begin to answer and then he would interrupt me with something totally unrelated, such as "I see on your resume that you say you are analytical, what does that word 'analytical' mean to you?" He did this several times. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be answering his questions or hers. I looked to her for help but she kind of just shrugged her shoulders. It left me wondering if this was their tactic, was it planned, were they trying to get a rise out of me or what? The man was very rude the entire time. I kept my cool and answered all of their questions. I walked out of there very angry and I definitely didn't want the job. It seemed like the hiring manager wasn't a good leader and since I'd also have to have interaction with the other man, I definitely couldn't see myself working with someone so rude.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 1 week)
The process was easy. I applied online, a day later i got a phone interview. The next week was a group interview. The majority of the candidates lacked major sales experience, except an older man with prior bank experience but i felt at ease because he couldn't keep a job. When it came time to answer questions I always volunteered to go first. My answers were short and to the point while others explained their whole lives.
By then, the interviewer must've made her decision, she was nice by the way. We watched the company video and skipped the group presentation. I have yet to get a call but extremely confident, I just got home from the interview.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Woodbury, MN (took 3 weeks)
I was interviewed for a job that is typically a stepping stone to better paying positions in the Mortgage industry within Wells Fargo. I made the mistake of expressing my personal goals for advancement (which I am qualified for) and was not chosen for the position over someone who expressed longevity. I suggest if you want a "foot in the door," pretend as if you like being stuck in a going nowhere position. The interview itself went very well and I was very comfortable.
