I had an awful interview experience. I reached the third round, which involved speaking with two different product owners. While the technical round went smoothly, one of the owners kept antagonizing me, twisting my questions to make it seem like I was being condescending. For example, I asked, 'How has your past experience informed your current role?' One of them sarcastically responded, 'Oh, are you implying he's too stupid for his job?' I repeatedly clarified that this wasn't what I meant, but both interviewers seemed frustrated regardless. It was a strange experience—one of them barely paid attention, constantly looking away, typing in another chat, and acting condescending. The whole interaction felt bizarre.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you improve user experience.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Wise
Interview
Maki Assessment - SQL, behavioural questions, math questions, and 1 video interview question. Overall process was smooth and easy to understand. All tests had a time limit, and the video interview allowed 3 tries in total with 120s break in between each take to prepare.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wise in Mar 2026
Interview
2 assessments through maki, each consisting of 3 parts. The first one is more technical (SQL), mathematical, and analytical. 2nd one is more to get a deeper understanding of you (workplace culture assessment, cognitive assessment and a 1 question interview)
