J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Wise (Londres, Angleterre) en juill. 2017
Entretien
Quite an easy interview, but communication with the other Software Engineers was very challenging.
First off was the design/coding interview which was hosted by two in-house Software Engineers asking questions (sometimes in alternation which was very confusing). I was a bit taken aback by how chaotic the communication went. Jumping rapidly from one subject to another (and then back again), switching between spoken languages (me and the devs had the same native language, and I just wanted to keep it all in English when it comes to interviews, makes it all easy) and not letting me explain a solution deep enough. I kinda knew by the end of this that I didn't get the chance to explain the elevator design or the projects at my current company properly.
Next was the PM interview which was really great. The PM focused a lot on how tech affects business, asked me about metrics, KPIs, we talked about a potential project (e.g. how would I improve TransferWise) and it was pretty awesome in the end!
The result was negative in the end (as expected), but it was nice to have a look at the office, even though I wish I could have communicated better with the tech folks to understand more about that side of the story.

Entretien
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.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
The pair programming round was generic one. They gave a class with methods to be completed.
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.

Question 1
About Circuit Breaker that count failures in time based window
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.
