I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wise
Interview
Very unprofessional and negative company.
Applied online and received an interview invite within a week. The recruiter himself even added me on LinkedIn even though he works in a different country. The interview invite was sent to me by this recruiter but the interview was scheduled and confirmed by someone else and for me to speak with the recruiter, which was weird. Later due to an unforeseen bad health condition I had to email them to reschedule the interview the day before the interview. Since then no matter however I followed up I never received any response from them. I emailed both people in a timely manner and even messaged them on LinkedIn. LinkedIn shows the recruiter has read my message but they never responded as if they just disappeared from the Earth.
This experience tells me they were NEVER genuinely interested in my qualifications as a specific candidate, they only cared about having the position filled ASAP no matter who takes it. And they don't care what their applicants think or feel.
This kind of unprofessional behavior is what makes them look bad and go backwards.
Did a first round, was quite impressed with their system and processes, it was interesting to learn about the company in detailed and they are a budding fintech, seems like a fun environment .
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
introduction and background, experience in handling management
- Too many interview stages
- Disconnected questions
- Take candidates for granted - 5 interviews with feedback as unsuitable for role based on experience. Waste of candidates' time
- Referred for another vacancy where recruiter didn't turn up and then reported back saying I was absent

Question 1
Random questions, like what currency would you report sales in for Wise?
Was directly contacted by the recruiter and asked to join a call with the manager. The manager arrived and just said:" let me tell you about our company and then you can tell me about yourself". No greetings, no interest in the candidate. I felt he had come with a decision in his mind already! I never felt he was interested in knowing my background as a team member. I will not work for someone like this.
