I applied online. I interviewed at Wise in Sep 2025
Interview
Daniel (HR) made me feel comfortable and clearly communicated both the company’s values and what Wise was looking for in a candidate.
The interview was 5 steps: HR, pair programming, system design, product sense, computer science theory (database, lock, etc)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Code challenge: Implement a circuit breaker
System design: Design a system to publish the last 24 hours total money moved
4 rounds - one coding, one system design, and two for product sense / soft skills. Very slow process and unclear feedback - received positive feedback after round 3 and after round 4 they rejected me pointing out my round 3 performance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Product sene round - how would you handle and evaluate the request to migrate to a new observability cloud tool
Pair programming with an EM and a dev, HackerRank component design with a focus on functional requirement. Only language allowed was Java,
Nice and friendly interviewers but didn't leave the best techincal impression.
