Pros

Good benefits and "large company stability" (for what that is worth). There is always some chance of being able to move from one department to another to continue a WF career. Some very innovative and rewarding projects, but hard to know if you will be able to stay on such a project. Co-workers tend to be upbeat and helpful within each department. Educational opportunities are plentiful if you fight for them. If you align yourself well with your immediate manager and his/her manager, then you are most likely to succeed. You must ask for feedback and act on it, even if it goes against your personal beliefs.

Cons

Very poor communication from all layers of upper management. All management communication is upward facing (i.e., managers suck up to their superiors and look down upon their staff).

Pros

Good ALM team to work for and also very supportive ALM corporate Risk Business team.

Cons

I was a past employee of Wells Fargo. We have a change in management I past years and the current manager is more of a people manager who do not understand the functionality and the code where lot of questions are asked with the team by him that why we are doing this all the time ? He keep on putting his team under the bus in front of the business. Also wanted to change the technology to Java since the application was running smoothly in .NET and is deployed in cloud successfully. He keeps on creating problems for the team that the application is slow and UI layouts are old and performance is slow whereas the application is upgraded to .NET 8 and all the libraries are also updated. In production the application is very much responsive and fast and since he do not like .NET and is a Java person, he constantly creates lot of issues for the team. Personally I am not against any technology but creating and spreading false information is detrimental to the team and to the business. He also take care of the credit or work performed by the team to his own .

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
