Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Culture is good but there is a significant lack of young talent which does make the social aspect of work not as appealing and definitely needs to be improved.
The bank claims they are focusing on acquiring young and diverse talent but this is not apparent.
However there is are good networking opportunities and most people I have met and friendly and want to help you learn.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Wells Fargo to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Wells Fargo
Find out what things should and shouldn't run in a workplace and how you should be treated. I wasn't aware of certain things that shouldn't be accepted and so I thought this was the norm but it wasn't. There were some things I should have raised as unfair.
