      Head of Department Interview

      Oct 26, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Budapest
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Wise (Budapest) in Nov 2021

      Interview

      3 steps process if I recall: HR, potential Direct reports, Hiring Manager. Although the organisation of the ITWs has been redundant due to delays and lack of responses from the recruiters, the process itself went rather Okay. The hiring manager was absolutely rude, interrupting me constantly, I simply couldn't finish even a short sentence. He kept on twisting my words continuously. He had no more than 4 years of relevant professional experience and only experienced Wise. After the interview, I immediately informed HR about his behaviour and they never responded. Ultimately I was rejected, mentioning I wasn't senior enough, which was interesting as in the same period I have received offers from much larger companies, with higher offers, and for even more senior roles. I suspect I was discriminated as I am much more experienced than the hiring manager was. Very happy not to work with that person, but I felt it was important to share that experience.
