      Software Engineer Interview

      Sep 18, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wise (London, England) in Aug 2018

      Interview

      Had a initial call with the recruiter where we went through my experience and what I was looking for, nothing new there. Next there were 3 more interviews. 2 of them were on the same day at their office in London, one with two engineers and the other with a product manager. The last interview was a hangout call a week later with their lead engineer. The technical interview was to basically challenge my understanding of some scenarios, including in the project I'm currently working on (after I told them about it). The one with the product manager was more focusing on how we get feedback to improve the product, etc. Overall, I think the one thing that can be improved is that the whole process and the interviews are too subjective. Ideally, tech interviews should be objective without much room for biases. I can easily see some of the engineers having a bad day and failing someone because they didn't "like" them without really knowing why. Transferwise could be missing on really good engineers out there. Tech side of things should be an objective assessment (a test could be used as well). And then the subjective criteria could be assessed by RH, people with a psychology background. On a slightly different note, the recruiters were always very prompt with the feedback after every stage.

      Application

      I interviewed at Wise (London, England)

      Interview

      The interview process was long but designed to test soft skill along with the usual coding. I felt the interviewers looked more at my thought process and evaluated how good of a teammate I would be in Wise’s environment.

      Question 1

      The pair programming round was generic one. They gave a class with methods to be completed.

      I interviewed at Wise

      Interview

      In pair-programming round i got the question on circuit breaker. They gave an object oriented skeleton code with some placeholders to fill-up. Evaluation criteria would be mostly on if u knew about the circuit breaker before, if u are able to think and propose multiple approaches, how well you can collaborate with the interviewer. You need not write syntax perfect code as you need not compile or execute it but the code should be optimised enough with right data structures. I found the overall experience to be quiet good and easier than FAANG.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Wise

      Interview

      Applied online. Received online assessment link. Gave their hackerrank test which had 2 coding questions. All test cases passes. Immediately received automated mail that recruiter will contact you. After few hours got email that they have decided to move forward with other candidates. That is my application was not even reviewed by the recruiter(which usually takes 1-2 mins) before sending the test link.
