今年早些时候我走了 Wells Fargo 的面试流程,岗位是 Business Systems Consultant。想分享下 behavioral 那轮实际长什么样,因为官方 prep 材料挺泛的,帮助不大。
Wells Fargo 有一套公开的价值观:People as a competitive advantage、ethics、doing what's right、diversity and inclusion、leadership。他们会直接问能映射到这些价值观的问题。我不是开玩笑。有个面试官还明确说过:「我会问几个和我们的 values framework 相关的问题。」
我被问到的,或者同一 Pipeline 里听别人被问到的: Tell me about a time you had to advocate for doing the right thing even when it was harder than the alternative.(讲一次你在“做正确的事更难”的情况下依然坚持这么做的经历。)(Ethics 价值观,非常直接。) Describe a situation where you had to make a decision with incomplete information and a tight deadline. How did you communicate the uncertainty to stakeholders?(描述一次信息不完整、deadline 又很紧,你必须做决定的情况。你怎么把不确定性传达给 stakeholders?) Tell me about a time you worked across teams with different priorities and got alignment on a shared outcome.(讲一次你跨团队合作、各方优先级不一致,但最终对共同目标达成一致的经历。) How do you handle a situation where a colleague is cutting corners in a way that creates risk for the team or company?(如果同事在走捷径,而且给团队或公司带来风险,你会怎么处理?) Tell me about a professional relationship you built deliberately, not just one that happened naturally.(讲一次你有意识去建立的职业关系,而不是自然产生的。)
Ethics 那题在两轮里出现了两次。他们是真的很在意,考虑到他们过去的经历也合理。我准备了一个比较强的回答:我曾经指出一个 data quality 问题,它可能影响监管报表,即使修这个问题会延迟我们团队 roadmap。这个回答很加分。
形式是 STAR。如果你的回答听起来像团队集体成果,他们会追问「具体你做了什么」。要讲清楚 YOU 做了什么。
Behavioral 总共两轮,每轮 45 分钟。第二轮更偏 leadership 和冲突处理。
