I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wise
Interview
They said 6 interviews would be taken but after the 3rd interview, I got a notice that I won't go further. Each interview took about an hour via Zoom since I don't live in the same location of the position I was applying.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
(After I answered the most successful achievement) What is your other achievements? Why do you want to join Transferwise? There're 3 countries we're planing to launch a product and their market segment size are the same, what should we consider to decide to launch?
Stage 1 Recruiter / Talent Screen, Stage 2 Hiring Manager + Engineering Lead. Stage 1 was pretty straightforward. Stage 2, half the interview was to talk about a theoretical problem and the second on something I had worked on. the interview felt poorly structured, and the engineer on the call was rude and off putting - poor people skills.
I then received an automated email saying I did not progress, which is fair but candidates deserve actual feedback, not a generic email. You've invested time to speak to me, you should have the time to write candidate feedback - or don't hire!

Question 1
Ignoring stakeholder alignment what is a complex, technical project you've worked on.
Overall the interview process is quite nice the people are quite nice however, the way they treat candidates is quite bad when you do not succeed or are not shortlisted. They will ghost you, or pretend to have another meeting and cancel the meeting, or make you wait for weeks until they make up their mind.
The company’s vision and culture seems great but the way they treat candidates can be improved.
Interviewer was disengaged. Didn't have a great experience. She also wasn't paying attention to what I said and I kept having to repeat myself. I did not get a follow up interview.
