      Front-End Web Developer Interview

      14 Sept 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Tallinn
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wise (Tallinn) in Sept 2015

      Interview

      I was interviewed by two Java developers. Interview was in a room for playing ping-ping, which would be OK for a new startup, but looks somewhat strange for a company with more than 300 employees and almost $100M in funding. There were no technical questions about front-end Web development. The interview was wrapped up when a group of people came into the room to play ping pong. Several days later I received an email, saying that I am not motivated enough for TransferWise. Since there were no motivation related questions during the interview, it looked as a generic non-constructive excuse to reject me without any useful feedback.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. If I start a startup would I prefer writing unstructured code in two month or clean, efficient, testable code in a year. (Comparing 2 vs 12 months is a totally unrealistic example. Experienced developer would add new features faster when she/he has clean and well designed code base. There will be fewer bugs also. A good code base would never take 6 times longer to develop.) 2. Would I spend time to add a feature to Web app or to migrate it to ES6? 3. Why do some of TransferWise users drop off at the fourth transfer flow process, which is entering billing information? 4. What would I change to make more users to enter their billing information? 5. How would I know that my change improved the statistics if there were 10 more changes?
