All 5 →- Expected a Relaxed Research Chat, Got LLM and AI Agent QuestionsWells Fargo · Data Scientist · Intern · Technical Screen · Oct 2026
I just finished my Wells Fargo interview. The role is Applied Computational Intelligence intern. Before the interview I saw on RedNote that it's just a chat about your research and very relaxed, so I let my guard down, prepared a bit around my resume and went in. It turned out they asked these questions: Behavioral question. I gave an example from my research, and they followed up three times on…
- Wells Fargo Financial Analyst interview: HireVue to superdayWells Fargo · Financial Analyst · Online Assessment · Jul 2026
After I applied, the process began with a virtual question screen that felt more like a proctored exam than a conversation. I was asked why I wanted the role and then answered many behavioral prompts. It was awkward more than difficult, and I wished it felt more human. That led into HireVue again before anything live. The early video rounds were not very technical; they were mostly open ended and…

The process felt organized and standardized, especially at the superday. I completed HireVue and, about a week later, attended an in-person final round with three interviews of roughly 30 minutes each. Two were technical and one was behavioral. Everything ran smoothly, with a familiar rhythm across interviewers. The technical sessions covered accounting and ratios, including debt and equity conce…
- Wells Fargo Software Engineer Interview Experience: Broad assessment and a condescending later callWells Fargo · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026
After the recruiter stage, I took a HackerRank-style online assessment that combined multiple choice and coding. It focused on DSA and practical problem-solving. Some versions also included aptitude and general computer-science questions. The platform questions did not always match what I expected, but I pushed through and moved to live rounds after passing. The technical interviews felt more lik…
