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.

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.

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.
