One round of interview with the hiring manager and a HR, was asked general questions since I did not have prior experience. Was keen to know more about the role, but both interviewers held a rather conceited and proud stuck up attitude and the experience was quite distasteful.

Question 1
If you noticed there was an error in the middle of the night due to cross border operations, and there was nobody around to support and all your team mates are uncontactable, what do you do?
Very poor refection on the company. The interview process started with a screen that was fine to explain your background. Where it gets really ridiculous is the next stages. First off the recruiter is pretty much non responsive and you get zero information on the interview process. E.g I specifically asked what the interview process was and what areas it would focus on e.g Data architecture, engineering, platform design etc but got no response.
First interview:
Could not get any information on what the interview was even about as recruiter did not reply. Went well and JDI focused
Second Interviewer:
Got email 10 mins before hand that the interviewer could not attend. I understand things happen but I had to email the recruiter multiple times to have this rescheduled to which I got no reply until eventually it was scheduled in. Enquired what this technical interview was about and got no reply. Anyway long story short spent time checking glassdoor and company/interviewer to figure out what technical area would be asked and prepped for compliance, end to end data design and pipeline design. The interviewer shows up and asks me data architecture questions to which I had prepped nothing and as such didn't answer at all well.
Overall the most frustrating part of this interview is I feel there was no reason it should have not went well other than I simple could not figure out the process and it really comes across as the interviewer shows up and checks do you know what they know at a given time and if you have not guessed what area of tech they will ask you about you will struggle. Honestly very disappointing and a very poor reflection on the company as it is meant to be a great place to work I hear.
Result:
No idea as I got no response from the recruiter when I followed up twice but really disappointed as I really feel I could have easily passed the technical interview

Question 1
Thoughts on data warehousing, thoughts on compliance in data etc. Honestly, I couldn't even tell you the theme as it all seemed top f the head
I applied online. I interviewed at Wise (Singapur) in Sep 2021
Interview
HR cancelled last minute for the first phone interview. Subsequently on the second attempt at the phone interview, she was just rushing through questions like a checklist. Despite the culture I've read on the website/articles, the HR rep was dismissive and unfriendly.
