I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wise (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
The initial screening with HR was very smooth. Relaxed and engaging - very much an open two way conversation to manage expectations for both parties. Second stage interview, not sure what was going on. Interviewer seemed bored and disinterested within 5 minutes. Slumped at her desk, didn't look like she was listening. Very disheartening and discouraging, but made me realise I didn't want to work there and it was clearly all hype. The "people first" approach they claim to champion did not translate in the slightest.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wise (Tallin) in Jul 2023
Interview
It was a three-stage process, but I only got through the initial interview. Overall pretty straightforward, and the reply to the initial interview was within a week. The next stages involved a home test and an interview with the leader of the department.
Quick and efficient - two stages of online interviews. The first interview involves answering a series of prompts by recording yourself and then completing additional written tasks. The second interview is with two people, conducted live through Zoom.

Question 1
It was a very casual chat that hardly felt like an interview.
