Wise interview questions

The interview was really friendly. They did not put pressure and you, if not a interesting personal and work related questions to see if you are the best fit for the position.

I applied for this position for which I have the perfect experience and skills. First, I received a "Take Home Test" where I had to write a suspicious activity report based on the facts given. I had to complete the test within 3 working days. After submitting the test, I was contacted very quickly (on a Sunday). They told me that they thought my skills and expereince would be a great fit and they wanted to schedule a Skype interview. They gave me three possible dates: Monday (on the day after!), Tuesday or Wednesday. They also told me (without me asking anything) that it was just a first interview to get to know me a bit better and to go through my profile and that I did not have to prepare anything in advance. Unfortunately, this was incorrect information since the interview was full of behavioural/competency-based questions (like "tell me about a time when you.."). You DO have to prepare for an interview like this. I did my best but I was caught off guard and did not answer as well as I could have with the right preparation. It was not my fault, but the company's fault as obviously the interview process is not even clear to their employees which results in sending to their candidates incorrect information in relation to the type of interview (or maybe it was the interviewer who was not well-informed about their standard interview process). I had my interview with an AML lead, a stone-cold person who didn’t even ask me to introduce myself. I did several job interviews in my life and honestly, this was the first time ever they didn’t ask me to introduce myself. All companies do that: it’s an icebreaker and it also shows that they care about the person. When I applied, at first I had a very good impression of the company due to the positive reviews on Glassdoor and aldso the image advertised on their website. This changed completely within 10 minutes after the interview had started. The whole process was absolutely unprofessional. They should have not told me that I didn't need to prepare anything for the interview because this was incorrect information. Many well-established companies, such as Amazon, PayPal or Google do tell their candidates in advance that they will get competency-based questions so they know what to expect. I'm not saying that the company should have told me that, but you cannot just tell people there is no need to prepare when the interview is full of competence-based and behavioural questions. Just don't say anything, it's better. Obviously, thanks to my poor interview, I didn't get the job, but even if I had gotten it, I certainly would not want to work for a company with such basic communication and organizational problems.
