Wells Fargo interview preparation

Walk into Wells Fargo prepared.
Know what it looks for.

Wells Fargo is one of America's "Big Four" banks (alongside JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Citi) with $2 trillion in assets, serving roughly one in three U.S. households across consumer banking, commercial banking, corporate & investment banking, and wealth & investment management. After the 2016 fake-accounts scandal, the bank spent seven years under a Federal Reserve asset cap that was finally lifted in June 2025 — making Wells Fargo behavioral interviews uniquely focused on integrity, risk awareness, candor, and the "do what's right" mindset that CEO Charlie Scharf has built into the company's "Expectations" framework. Candidates should expect the SBO method (Situation, Behavior, Outcome — Wells Fargo's branded variant of STAR) and questions calibrated to whether you'll help the post-turnaround bank become the customer-first growth story Scharf is building.
