      Team Lead Interview

      Aug 10, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Tallinn
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wise (Tallinn) in Jul 2019

      Interview

      None of the HR was present, only 2 other team leads. Most of the interview was an ad to the service / product : "You should use our services", "Did you know that we can do X?" - When I asked for their experience and feelings about the culture and an overall "Why should I join this company?" - no clear answer from the team leads, only buzz words - "We are making a revolution". Felt like being in the store with someone trying to sell me something. A lot of racist remarks from the interviewers - "We know that X (ethnicity name) steals and can't be trusted." Most of the questions required a lot of wild guessing, as no other information was provided. After trying to clarify, the information given was contradicting itself. At some point, their questions became so abstract, that it was not possible to answer - instead of checking my skills and trying to understand me, the focus was on presenting their product. Had to recite their values and a mission and to explain them what they mean. I was not given a chance to ask a lot of questions, as the time was running out. An overall feeling during the interview was unpleasant and unprofessional - interviewers had no experience in this area, thus a lot of fluff and no clear structure. The meeting itself was in a room with 3 glass walls and people just walking around, was not that soundproof - all the time people were walking, talking and distracting. Signing in is a bit complicated: taking a picture, entering details and having a badge "Visitor" and a key card. Checking in and out everywhere with that card.

      Thank you for your time to provide us feedback on your recent interview experience at TransferWise in Tallinn. I'm sorry to hear you had such a disappointing experience. I'm gravely concerned about alleged racist comments raised from an employee as we have a zero tolerance approach to this kind of behaviour. In this instance, we'd recommend you following up with us directly so we can look into your feedback properly and address it accordingly. To do that, you can get in touch with your Recruiter or alternatively reach out with your contact details by emailing us at employerbrand@transferwise.com, addressing your message to Ross S and we'll follow up from there. Feedback is really important to us so thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention. We hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes, Ross

      Team Lead Interview

      Jul 25, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Wise (London, England)

      Interview

      The initial process was fast from speaking to the recruiter to moving to the hiring manager. Then Wise hiring manager required a take home task that fell like free consultancy asking to solve business issues that were identified by the hiring manager in the initial interview. The team sounded very inexperienced, lacking seniority but being put in positions of power without the necessary knowledge. Some of them had PhDs in completely useless matters for their roles; they lacked insight and experience. Fell very cliquey and almost influencer led instead of led by achievements. I ended up declining the offer because I would fit in such a juvenile culture and didn’t see any future for the company with the current workforce.
