This was an initial screening interview conducted by a recruiter. The conversation focused on basic and general questions designed to assess my background, interest in the role, and overall fit. Typical questions included:
• A brief overview of my experience
• Why I’m interested in the company and the role
• My availability and work authorization
• Preferred work location (remote, hybrid, onsite)
• Salary expectations
• Confirmation of skills mentioned on my resume (e.g., programming languages, tools, or frameworks)
They had 3 rounds.
1) Pre screening hackerrank test.
2) The 1st round tested coding skills in which they asked to solve 2 leetcode medium questions with interviewer on call.
3) Managerial round being about past projects and managerial questions.
The interview was good. After the behavioral questions I got asked a bunch of OOP and high level system design questions. The interviewer was polite throughout and gave me hints when I was stuck or couldn't remember something specifically.
I applied online. I interviewed at Wells Fargo (Compton, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
The recruiter was helpful and professional, and took the time to explain the process and the role in detail.
However, my experience with the hiring manager was less positive. During the conversation it felt like the communication style was quite condescending, with an assumption that others lacked understanding of the topics being discussed.
Overall, the recruiting process itself was organized well, but the interaction with the hiring manager made me reconsider whether this would be the right team environment for me.
