I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wise (New York, NY) in Jul 2024
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and asked if I would apply. I did, and then received a scheduling link from her. The first available timeslot on her calendar was over 2 weeks out, but I booked anyways. 2 hours before the scheduled interview, I received an email from her that the position was filled. I find this all very unprofessional, especially since it was a 1hr video call which I had prepped for. It made me think twice about the company if this is how they go about the recruitment process.

Question 1
N/a, since she cancelled the interview at the last minute.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Wise (London, England) in Sept 2020
Interview
Overall, respectful interview process and interviewers were open to two-way conversation.
The interviews try to cover a lot of ground. In some ways, many roles at Wise need "many hats" so I think the process tries to gauge that early. There's a big emphasis on cultural fit at Wise so anyone interviewing should get comfortable with the mission statement and center any answers or conversations around how they would have an impact on the mission.

Question 1
If you had find and negotiate a third-party partnership with a Bank in a new market that will allow Wise to offer cross-border payments in that country. How would you go about it?
