I was contacted by a member of the IT department to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was a conference call with 3 others. They literally read off a long list of Java concept questions and were looking for short, exact answers. It was a completely impersonal and strict phone interview, in which they only cared if the answers were correct to the questions.

A week later, after apparently passing the technical phone screen, I was invited in for a face-to-face interview. I traveled from Cleveland, OH during the middle of the week to meet with Wells Fargo.

Upon arriving, I was taken up to the IT floor with no warm welcome or anything. Right away, the 1st of four interviewers met with me and from then on, I don't think one interviewer said a single thing in even the slightest friendly manner.

Every single interviewer spent 45 minutes ridiculing me for having no experience and not having knowledge of certain tools and concepts, even though I am still attending college. They were strict, nasty, and the rudest people I have ever encountered in a business environment.

They pulled out tablets and looked up Java technical questions and completely embarrassed me for the questions I got incorrect. For about half of the ones I got "wrong", I knew the answer and voiced it, but since it was not word for word correct, they would tell me I'm wrong. They wanted me to be wrong, and had no interest in letting me try to explain my answer.

They spent the entire interview lecturing me about how I needed to go back to school and learn tools, concepts, and other things. Rather than simply stating "You may not have the experience with these certain tools that we are looking for", they rudely told me that I was a bad candidate and that they couldn't believe I did not have experience with the tools they use. I was even told that "my school sucked".

I have never had an interview like this and I was completely shocked by the amount of unprofessionalism that these interviewers had. Since it was an entry-level position, I asked how the learning process was within the department, and asked what methods were used to advance the entry-level programmers. The interviewer responded by rudely laughing at me and telling me "Welcome to corporate America. There is no training. You are on your own and nobody has time for you".

I cannot believe that I traveled 7 hours to be treated in this manner, and I can NEVER possibly even imagine working for such a rude, arrogant, and lifeless company. This is just a few of the negatives of this interview.

Everything. You better not miss one question, or they will embarrass you.
