Initially contacted by HR about 1 month after applying for the position. Was set up for a panel interview with 3 people from across the country, as they are a pretty dispersed team. Interviews went over a brief rundown of my background and a standard set of behavioral questions. I hour interview. I had about 10 minutes to ask questions. I believe this was a peer level interview by those that would be in my team / at my same level. A second interview with their leaders/directors 10 days later. Same interview questions. 45 minutes. About 10 minutes for questions. A third interview a week later with my future direct manager. Same interview questions. 30 minutes. About 5 minutes for questions. Received a call about a week after that from the director to let me know they would like to make an offer, and they asked me about compensation requirements. I responded with my current compensation. We had some additional back and forth and agreed we would speak again the next day. In the time it took for all of this to transpire (from initial application to where we are at this point), I had applied to other jobs. I actually received another offer for a position at my current company this same day. Next day, he came back with a revised offer, but I did not feel like I had a solid understanding of the role / organization / direct supervisor and told him I would like to speak to my future manager a bit more to get a feel for his management style, specific responsibilities, etc. He agreed this was fine, but said he would need a decision the next day. I was trying to weigh this offer against the one from my current company. Spoke to the direct manager again for about 30 minutes. This was probably the first time I got a true sense of what life would be like working at Wells Fargo. I did not come away with a "warm and fuzzy" feeling from this discussion, and it actually raised more concerns than not. (see below in "Why did you decline" section for more details). There were certainly some good things however such as bonuses and some work from home flexibility which were appealing. Also, the manager seemed like a nice enough person and seemed pretty reasonable. From a personal perspective I think he was probably the best part of the interview process. However, after weighing all the pros and cons, I believed I had a better fit in the other job at my current company. This is where the whole process took a left turn and went off-course. I called the director back and let him know that I had received an offer from my current company just a couple of days ago that I felt was a better fit for me and so would be declining his offer. He did not take it well, and became somewhat adversarial. My attempt to explain the situation only seemed to make him more upset. He also offered "friendly advice" (in a not so friendly tone) that I did not know how to interview properly and said that if I applied for a job, I should be ready to accept that job if an offer is made, especially when applying to a Fortune 500 company like Wells Fargo. I let him finish and then tried to end the call on a positive note, wishing him success with his other potential candidates. I don't know if he misinterpreted what I said, but in a negative tone he let me know that there was no shortage of excellent candidates that they could pull from that would love to be at Wells Fargo. We ended the call at that point. I'm sorry, but most people apply for multiple jobs and, if given multiple offers, will try to make a rational decision to pick what is best for them. This isn't the bottom of the recession anymore where people feel compelled to jump at the first offer thrown their way simply because the hiring company has all the power. Plus, if they hadn't taken so long in their hiring process (53 days from application to offer) I may still have gone with them if there was nothing else on the table because even though I had concerns, the direct manager I would work for seemed generally reasonable. I tried to be as gracious as possible, but he had responded in a way I have never seen applying to any other company before. It came across as arrogant and unprofessional and honestly was quite shocking. Maybe I caught him after a bad day at work, but in hindsight, I am glad that I went with my gut and turned down the job, as I probably would have run across this attitude at some point in the future and it more than likely would have made me want to leave the group/company. I am not looking to apply to Wells Fargo for anything ever again as a result of this experience.
