Tell me about a time when you had to influence a leader.
I submitted an application and participated in the first-round screening interview with a member of the HR department. The interviewer was not familiar with the legal industry or the salary range for in house counsel positions in the area. The salary range listed on the job posting was huge and could have covered an entry-level position all the way to 10+ years of experience. After speaking with the interviewer, I was left with the impression that Wells Fargo would only offer the very bottom end of the salary range, but they included the top end of the range in order to attract candidates with more experience. The entire process is deceptive and shows that Wells Fargo is more interested in saving money than hiring and retaining top talent.

Entrevista
30 min phone screening by HR person, followed by 60 min phone screening by hiring manager plus two other managers as a panel. The HR person clearly did not know anything specific about the job, was just asking standard questions. The persons on the panel took turns, each asking one question.

All questions were directly job related, e.g. "tell us how your professional background qualifies you for this job"; tell us how you collaborate with others, etc. There were none of the negative questions that I do not believe are really helpful, such as "tell me your weakness, tell me about a time you failed."
