I applied online. I interviewed at Wise (Budapest) in Feb 2026
Interview
It was an 1 hour coding interview on HackerRack with 2 interviewers (Indian). When I started to code, they asked question regarding to the implementation before or at coding phase. They try to help, but they don't even give time to think the overall solution. The datastructure was a little bit more than I first thought. So the help was not a help for me, but a barrier mostly to be able to think of the whole implementation. The time was not enought in these circimstances.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Circuit breaker implementation in Java: The service A calls service B and service C every time. If one service fails 3-times in 10 minutes ( or 20 seconds in the implementation) the next call will be blocked for 5 minutes (10 seconds in the implementation). There was given a simulation of remote method calls, I needed to implement only the execute() which calls the remote service if possible.
