Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 6 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Wise en oct 2025
Entrevista
The recruiter approached me and after the first 30 min talk she disappeared for 3 weeks. I was like okay I can apply myself so I did and they wanted to have another HR round with me so I thought I should let them know that I’ve already had one and let me know if the process differs in my case. No answer, but the ghosting recruiter turned up with organising the technical round that day. I had an appointment, they made me book another because of some ‘engineering day’. I finally got my first tech round and after 6 mins being in the call someone jumped in to tell me that the interviewer is sick and they’ll catch up with the next steps. Well, learning from the past I wasn’t going to wait for them, I booked myself another tech interview the week after. It went well, wasn’t difficult at all but they didn’t really ask questions to any depth. After that day I got a call that the HR person is waiting for me in the call, even though I told them that I’m ahead of the process and never got an answer. I have never met such chaotic and unprofessional people during hiring. I wish they’ve never approached me. What a waste of time.

I had a worst experience with WISE of my entire job career. I applied through the company career page and I received a formal interview call as a screening with the recruiter. I joined the meeting as per the schedule and the recruiter didn't even come on time. She joined the meeting after some time then the original time. Even after joining she didn't even say a single word and started questioning me, I was expecting a brief intro from her and ME. But she didn't do that. As soon as I started answering the question she started her new topic of questions, she didn't wait for me to complete my answer. The worst nightmare for me because being on that 30 min call was horrible and this made me feel even if they offer me the job, I will not take it because of seeing what type of persons do they hire and How come they managed to get a place in WISE.

The process that I participated in was divided into:
1. Screen with HR
2. "Pair Programming. w/ 2 devs" (Implement a Token Manager) It is not an algorithm test
3. Feedback
I didn't receive an offer.
In pair programming, don't expect to be a real pair programmer or a collaborative implementation (the "How you work together with us to solve the problem" is a lie). Even if you led the pair to the right solution, if they prompt you with questions, you are already out.
The red flags pointed out by the dev team don't make any sense, although it is a pair programming and the right approach/solution was given, red flags were pointed out like:
- Asked for clarification about the problem (I should not ask)
- Implement the right problem when there is a question about missing parts during the interview (Except in pair programming)
Although I had helped Auth0 implement their Token Manager and had implemented it multiple times, according to the Wise devs, because I asked for clarifications and was prompted by them with questions about the implementation, even providing the right solution during a PAIR-PROGRAMMING, they classified me as a JR~MID Developer (11 YoE in big North American companies).
So I do believe that:
1 They are not hiring anyone OR
2 The position was already closed by another candidate BEFORE the test OR
3 They are looking for a unicorn
