Wells Fargo

Good salary above market average. Free cab facility even within the city. Food at reduced price. Groups for sports, culture, and talent if you are interested. Work from office - 3 days a week (September 2024).

This review is about WIMT LOB. There are small applications (UI with 1 Spring Boot instance) with very little scope, mostly back-office applications. If you are lucky, you will get a good application having microservices and latest technologies. Mostly maintenance applications with only technical changes.

Software engineering managers are supposed to be technical owners, but they will push all technical work to leads/team members. Mostly manager-centric teams, even though Agile is followed. They still don't use public cloud.

As a lead, you will feel frustrated to work because you will be stuck doing the same work as a Senior Software Engineer. You will be the only person working on a small maintenance application sometimes. If you have end-to-end full-stack and DevOps skills, they will go to waste. No work satisfaction.

Organize your recruitment process. Map skilled resources to matching projects. Have a 360-degree feedback process from skip-level meetings to get feedback about managers from the team. Train your managers.
