I applied online. I interviewed at Wise (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Mar 2026
Interview
Overall the experience started nice with the recruitment team and ended very bad on the CTO interview. Very unpolite, bad experience on the behavioral part, it makes me not motivated at all to join the team even that they have a good salary
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.

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.
