I was a contractor on an Agile team at Wells Fargo Advisors in St. Louis for five months and…read morechange. I observed chaos and waste. The team of eight was ridiculously large and doing the work of four as we were pair programming on everything while no other team at Wells Fargo pair programs. Something smelled bad as if a budget too big had been argued for. What is more there weren't any testers or test-driven development. How did this make sense? If you were going to staff for eight why not have six devs and two testers? My first week on the job it was announced that the powers that be were giving up on Agile and going to a Waterfall approach and downstream of that decision there was the disaster you might expect. The project went into red status around the time I was cut and that was after the eight of us had spent two months doing nothing while we waited on mockups from the UX point-of-contact. If you were going to get rid of me why didn't you do it before I did nothing for two months instead of after? How does that sense to anyone pinching pennies? I guess no one is pinching pennies at Wells Fargo Advisors.

What I love about Mark is that he goes the extra mile. I was recently in a car accident and couldn't get a rental because all of the local rental companies were sold out for the day. Mark picked me up at my house and drove me to the airport (40 minute drive) to get a rental. When that didn't work out, he took me to Clayton. This is after he spent the morning on the phone to help find an available rental. Much appreciated!

Two advisors quit. Tried talking to branch manager but she is too busy to talk to little people. Tried getting help through corporate offices and was referred back to branch manager.
