I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wise (New York, NY) in Sep 2022
Interview
Interview process would have been a lot smoother if recruiter was more responsive/informative. You are pretty much left alone throughout the process, not knowing what to expect. Most reputable companies provide some sort of guidance as far as potential interview topics/etc. This was not my experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you handle managing difficult/underperformer employees
Online interview with lovely recruiter who set me at ease. More of a conversation that strict interview questions. Really set me at ease and got the most out of me.
I applied online. I interviewed at Wise (Londres, Inglaterra) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview process began with an initial screening, leading to a pair programming round with two engineers. I successfully completed the core coding task, but some of the test cases were not satisfied. Regrettably, my candidacy did not proceed to the subsequent interview stage.

Question 1
We have a web client that makes requests to Service B and Service C.
If either service fails 3 times within 10 minutes, we should stop making requests to that service for 5 minutes (circuit breaker open). After 5 minutes, we should try again (circuit breaker half-open/closed). We need to implement this logic in the `WebClient.execute(Request)` method.
