I applied online. I interviewed at Wise in May 2025
Interview
Interview process has been documented well on here already - I didn't have Leetcode styled questions. More practical based questions, especially around Java - just brush up your Java knowledge e.g. ConcurrentHashMaps etc. Same goes for the system design around - more practical questioning. Interviewers were all super nice and pleasant. I passed all rounds but never heard back from my recruiter, Julius Solas! Good luck if he's your assigned recruiter, he's quite useless and never replies to his emails - it's disappointing because Wise are cool company but sadly have been let down by the recruiting team
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.
Did an oa passed all the questions and had a video recording interview with some Java problem and also 5 behavioral with 3 chances and received a rejection two weeks after it is submitted
Graduate role had a few stages. First two stages included online technical and behavioural assessments. Final stage was a live coding interview with two software engineers and it was a standard coding problem with average difficulty.
