Wells Fargo visited our campus to recruit FTE and interns within the month of August. The whole course of was carried out just about and comprised 3-4 rounds. Out of the 270+ college students who utilized, round 140 had been shortlisted and allowed to sit down for the coding spherical. The shortlisting was executed on the premise of CGPA and resume.
The coding spherical was hosted on the AMCAT platform and comprised 3 sections:
- English
- Enterprise Analytics and Knowledge interpretation
- Coding
- The English part comprised paragraph-type questions the place you needed to choose a phrase or phrase which was closest in that means to the one given and many others. This spherical was fairly straightforward.
- The Enterprise Analytics part consisted of questions based mostly on bar graphs, percentages, shares, shares, pie charts, Venn diagrams, and many others. The questions weren’t notably tough however the pace with accuracy was the principle problem because the time allotted was fairly much less.
- The final part comprised 2 coding inquiries to be executed in 1 hour. The primary drawback was much like the LRU(Least not too long ago used) cache drawback. I solved it utterly utilizing a map and deque. The second query was based mostly on backtracking( all attainable partitions of string). Each the questions had been disguised nicely within the type of lengthy paragraphs. Everybody had a distinct set of questions, which minimized the probabilities of dishonest, copying, or unfair practices. That being stated, in case you are an everyday aggressive programmer, the coding questions can be fairly manageable. Try to give as many contests as attainable on Codeforces, Codechef, and many others.
After the coding spherical, round 29 folks had been shortlisted for the interviews and I used to be one in all them. There have been 3 interview rounds: two technical rounds and one HR spherical.
Technical Spherical 1: The interviewer began by asking me to introduce myself. He then requested me my favourite topic, to which I replied DSA. He requested me to present real-life functions of merge kind. He additional requested me to match merge kind with different sorting algorithms with respect to their time complexity, finest, worst, and common instances. As soon as he was glad, he went on to OOPS and requested me quite a lot of questions on OOPS. Inheritance, Polymorphism, Dynamic binding, and virtually every little thing associated to OOPS was requested. Ensure that to complement all of your explanations with ample actual phrase examples. Lastly, he requested me a particularly straightforward programming query: Take away duplicates from an unsorted array. He requested me to first clarify my strategy after which code it in my editor and run it. As soon as it ran efficiently, he requested me if I’ve any questions for him. I requested him in regards to the applied sciences he has labored with at Wells Fargo, and after this, my first spherical was over.
Technical spherical 2: This spherical once more began with the interviewer asking me to introduce myself. He then went on to ask me 2 questions :
- You’ve gotten a considerable amount of information on individuals who wish to open a checking account. This information contains title, tackle, cellphone quantity, JPEG/PNG pictures, pdf doc information, and possibly even audio information. What’s the most effective technique to retailer all of this information?
- You’re on the seventh ground of a constructing and also you wish to attain the third ground. On every ground, you have got 4 elevators. What’s an optimum approach of deciding which elevator to decide on so that you could go from the seventh ground to the third ground in minimal time? We had a pleasant dialogue on this drawback for fairly a while. I prompt 3-4 elements that one may take into accounts whereas designing an optimum technique. He was glad with my strategy to the issue and moved on to OOPS. Once more, he requested me quite a lot of OOPS questions. I made positive to elucidate each idea with examples.
Then he went on to ask a number of HR questions. A few of them had been:
- Which know-how do you suppose will revolutionize the banking sector within the close to future? I talked about blockchain and AI. As a follow-up query, he requested me to elucidate in short the idea behind blockchain and its significance to the banking business.
- What are your strengths and weaknesses?
- The place do you see your self within the subsequent 5 years?
The final spherical was a phone name with HR. This was only a formality and nothing was requested of me, besides how my interview went.
The outcomes had been declared the identical evening and I used to be lucky to be among the many 6 folks to get the ultimate internship.
Factors to remember:
- Ensure you have no less than 1 venture in your resume that you would be able to speak about confidently. I used to be not requested about my venture however most of my mates had been. Please don’t copy initiatives out of your seniors or mates 2 days earlier than the interview and move them as your personal in your resume, because the interviewers will rapidly be capable of spot in case you have truly labored on a venture or not. Additionally, be certain that to by no means embrace something in your resume that you simply can’t reply questions on.
- Assume out loud. The interviewer is extra excited about the best way you strategy an issue than its correctness.
- Apply DSA from GFG, interview bit, and leetcode, and preserve revising the subjects you study.
- Keep an honest CGPA( ideally 8.75+) to clear the shortlisting spherical.
All one of the best!
