I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wells Fargo (Minneapolis, MN) in July 2010
Interview
Recruiter submitted me to Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo expressed interest and scheduled a teleconference interview. Two people asked me questions for an hour. I asked the interviewer if they would like any clarification on any of the answers and they stated that they did not. Most of these questions seemed to point to how I would deal with a project that was behind schedule and people that were uncooperative. They then stated to the recruiter that I did not provide enough detail. I was then told that they wanted a second interview and was not told who my contact persons are. I got the same two people asking more of the same questions for another hour. I was then told that another candidate was selected. I also learned that this project was 2 weeks behind and that a P.M. was supposed to be hired two moths prior.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where your communication skills were not as good as they should have been.
The developers have developed the application and it does not meet the business requirements (the business side is unhappy). The developers do not want to redo the application, what do you do?
It was a screener call, a general situational interview, and a prepared product presentation. Overall it was very standard and if you are prepared with general knowledge and experience you should be fine
The interview process was relaxed, honest, and genuine. Interviewer discussed many goals, initiatives, and challenges. The environment was relaxed, with a myriad of people in the office. Felt very comfortable.
