Wells Fargo conducted an on-campus recruitment drive for Software Development Engineer (SDE) Interns, targeting pre-final year students. More than 100 students applied. The process involved three main rounds.

Round 1: Online Assessment (100 minutes)
The test had three sections:

• Verbal: Tested grammatical skills, vocabulary, and comprehension (identifying errors, fill-in-the-blanks, paragraph formation). Moderate difficulty.
• Business Aptitude: Required interpretation of business data from graphs and charts, involving analysis and calculations. Moderate difficulty. Candidates were advised to examine options carefully.
• Coding (60 minutes): Two coding problems. One involved linked lists, and the other was based on the Greedy Algorithm. Difficulty ranged from easy to medium.

Round 2: Technical Interview
This round assessed technical expertise and understanding of core fundamentals.

Round 3: Final Round
For this candidate, the final round was with a machine learning expert. It began with general questions like "Why do you want to join the company?" and "What made you apply for the position?". Following this, the interviewer posed some puzzles to test problem-solving skills.

Puzzle Question: Two water containers (one 3 liters, one 5 liters) and a tap. The challenge was to measure out exactly 4 liters of water using only these containers and the tap.

The machine learning expert provided insights and guidance throughout the discussion, allowing the candidate to demonstrate understanding of machine learning principles and techniques.
