I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wise in Jan 2025
Interview
Had a recruiter screen. The recruiter seemed very uninterested in talking to me and had very little interest when I was talking about my past experiences. They just gave me a take home case study to do which was very industry-specific and context-specific. They did know I didn't have a fintech background. I submitted the case study after spending a lot of time on it (they recommend spending 3 hours on it but not even their Lead Data Scientist can do that case in 3 hours).

Question 1
Based on the random dataset of 100k transactions, which users would you deem risky?
Very sketchy interview process. Like some of the other reviews mentioned I was given a take home assessment as part of the process. After submitting never heard anything back even after following up. They also have a habit of continually reposting roles.

Interview
The communication with the recruiter was fast and on-point. After an initial call, I was sent a test task to complete within 7 days. It was a case study with a database. I used Python to analyse the code. After reviewing my case study, I was invited to a technical interview. There were 3 sections - SQL, Product thinking, and another case study.

Interview
The interviewer was non stop interrupting me and also told me what i should and shouldn’t say in an interview, but didn’t let me talk about my experience. I found it quite rude.

Question 1
They didnt ask me many questions because it was basically a monologue of the interviewer
