Does anyone have thoughts on this? I've been unable to connect with anyone, but only started networking there last week.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, Wells Fargo's recruiting process has received mixed reviews. Here are some key insights:
Networking Challenges: It's not uncommon to face difficulties connecting with people at Wells Fargo, especially if you've just started networking. Persistence is key. Utilize LinkedIn, alumni networks, and cold emails to reach out to current employees, particularly those in the division you're targeting.
Geographic Considerations: Many roles, especially in investment banking, are based in Charlotte, NC, rather than New York City. If you're aiming for NYC, be aware that opportunities there might be more limited.
Recruiting Process: Some candidates have described the process as "bait and switch," where roles may not align with initial expectations (e.g., being placed in loan syndications instead of traditional investment banking). It's crucial to clarify role specifics during interviews.
Behavioral Interviews: Expect a mix of behavioral and basic technical questions. For example, candidates in the Diversity Forum Summer Financial Analyst program reported mostly behavioral questions with one very basic technical question.
Advice for Networking: Leverage the WSO Networking Guide for strategies, including cold email templates and questions to ask during informational interviews. Starting late isn't ideal, but focused and consistent efforts can still yield results.
If you're serious about Wells Fargo, keep pushing on the networking front and prepare thoroughly for interviews. Good luck!

Bad timing with end of year and holidays. Most are also busy with incoming SA’s networking for group placements.
dude above said it best but most people at the bank will wait for post holidays and they are gonna prioritize networking with incoming SAs from Jan-Feb since historically wells has placed SAs in February
Can confirm group placement is middle of February. Will be difficult to network with ppl there between new years and then.
