Wise interview questions

Four stages: 1) Introductory call with a future colleague, discussing past experiences, what I knew about the company etc. Brief <30 min call. 2) Take-home data assignment with 7 days to complete. The test consisted of a dataset and some questions to be answered, coupled with a ".. and anything else that you find interesting" catchall at the end. I did the whole task in Python and a little of Tableau, but you can use other tools if you prefer. 3) On-site interview, 90ish minutes long. You present your results and motivate methodological decisions, prepare to have your assumptions and choice of statistical measures questioned. Very relaxed, interviewed with team lead and two others, after the questioning followed some more questions regarding the team's current problem formulation and lastly I had about a hundred questions of my own to ask. 4) Finally a call with the Analytics Guild lead. Friendly chat, spanned about an hour and consisted of further questions about previous projects, my interest in the company and the role itself. I had further questions regarding the role and how analytics are done in TransferWise here that were answered in full. All in all the process was relaxed and everyone I interacted with was super friendly and were quick to answer any questions I had.

The interview process was painless, however some of the the questions were quite unexpected. They really do make an effort to put you at ease. From application to first interview was approximately 1 week, so it does happen faster than usual.
