Wells Fargo

• Friendly and welcoming towards contractors.
• Great for people starting off their careers if they can stick on.

• Messy organization
• Poor intra-org comms

For context, I was put on a specific project that I really liked working with engineers at my level and age range. I was moved onto a different project within a month of my onboarding, which was disappointing. I didn't mind the work, but it's pretty clear that the organization was poor, as engineers were harried to meet deadlines.

I was very concerned when they pulled me and the offshore team for a major production release, where the stakeholder said nothing may go wrong, given the stakes.

I didn't dislike my time there; I actually rather liked the people. But the work wasn't what I was promised, and my year-long contract to hire ended earlier than expected. I was told by my employers that it had nothing to do with my work performance, and that the terms of the contract changed with the client (Wells Fargo).

I suppose the change coincided with changes in upper leadership, so that could explain the situation.

Bit disappointing, but the pay was great, and I rather liked my team.

It's not a great idea to interview an engineer for one project and then move them to a project they didn't expect or want next month. That's kind of a bait and switch, even if it was unintentional.
