I applied online. I interviewed at Wise (London, England) in Dec 2025
Interview
Two stages: Maki stage (video recording), then final interview, both online. The final interview was a 1-hour technical interview with two engineers, involving a 30-min pair programming problem, then behavioural questions (some related to culture fit).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"Tell me about yourself", "Why Wise?", Behavioural Qs
The final interview is one hour with two engineers. It starts with a 15-minute values and experience discussion about your motivation, background, learning style, and feedback approach. The remaining 45 minutes is a collaborative pair-programming task focused on solving a practical, real-world coding problem rather than competitive programming.
Maki multiple choice test and a video interview, followed by a pair programming session , waiting for result of the pair programming. The question is a middle level leetcode, testing you on your code writing skills and algorithm solving
There was 1 senior engineer and 1 junior engineer in tis technical interview. The beginning was an introduction, followed by questions on REST APIs and a pair programming session. The interview ended with an opportunity for me to ask questions.
