Pros

Very laid-back for a full-fledged investment bank. Most different in that aspect compared to a few other investment banks I worked for in the past in New York City. Too bad, the former company Wachovia was also a great place to work, but not longer.

Cons

Because it lacks a systematic peer review process in system development in IT, inept developers can frequently create a lot of bad code. This makes the maintenance and enhancement works difficult for subsequent people to follow. This is a prevalent problem in any large IT organization, including large investment banks.

Advice to Management

Hopefully Wells Fargo will decide to retain the productive, non-bureaucratic, and overall stress-free culture from Wachovia.

When I left in 2010, the culture was still there, luckily.
