I applied online. I interviewed at Wise (Londres, Inglaterra) in Dec 2023
Interview
Application, 70 mins hackerrank test with 3 questions, recorded video interview, 60 min technical interview with 2 engineers with a couple of personality questions and 2 technical questions. Each stage took 3-4 weeks to get back to me, which was slower than some other companies but Wise has fewer stages than other companies. Technical interview was the highlight - was interviewed by 2 friendly engineers who supported me through the questions and gave me opportunities to ask questions and learn. Hardest stage was the initial tech test as I felt really short of time and did not complete 1 of the questions. Overall the process left me with a really good impression of the company.

Question 1
When is a time you received poor feedback and how did you respond?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Wise (Budapest) in Sep 2023
Interview
The interview process includes 3 steps:
Take-home test: It was not too hard, containing three questions - algorithm, API, and SQL.
Video interview: Questions about your work life; you have to create videos at home. It was easy because you have infinite time and can retake as much as you want.
Final interview: I got two tasks and had to solve them with my interview partners.

Interview
They get back to you promptly. They also send rejection email quickly. There's 1 more interview if you pass the hackerrank round.
Must pass all the hackerrank question in order to get to the next round. Just getting 2/3 right is not enough.
