I applied online. I interviewed at Wise (Singapur) in May 2025
Interview
Pretty common situational questions. “Tell me how you managed a negative feedback”. Definitely need some experience to be able to get through. Not as nerve-wracking as some of the other companies. Overall, good experience.

Interview
I interviewed at wise Estonia. First round was HR recruiter. The recruiter was very nice and explained the whole interview process very well. The second round was pair programming with two software engineers (from London / Beware of the interviewers from London as mentioned in every other wise review).
Pair programming round: The question was like currency conversion. I had two methods where one was sending money and the other one was receiving money. I had to refactor the code based one edge cases like sending should happen if receiver is there and has an account and all the other relevant edge cases, I had the perfect solution ready to implement the current conversion using BFS which the interviewer asked first but while I was implementing the solution, the interviews stopped me and redirected me to the money transfer part. We handled the currency conversion part via a dummy API and now we had a lot of to and fro discussions and code implementation/changes on the money transfer part. I addressed all the edge cases and follow up questions well and the interview overall felt like it went well and nowhere the interviewer nudged me that I was doing something wrong so the result I got from the technical interview was very unexpected for me, considering I completed everything accordingly. There was no feedback as to why I got rejected so I would say overall a negative experience interviewing with the wise team, They should definitely learn how to conduct an interview and should be upfront about the passing criteria and should work on their pair programming part of the interview.
