      Engineering Lead Interview

      28 Jan 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Wise (London, England) in Jan 2026

      Interview

      95% slated recruitment. I got the initial 30 minutes phone call with the recruiter. After that, I was advised to schedule a call for the next stage pair programming interview on their hiring platform. I scheduled within 1-2 day. However, my interview appointment was canceled few days later. This is 1st red flag. The recruiter called me again 2 weeks later to clarify why I did not make the appointment. I told the recruiter it was canceled from your side. The recruiter rescheduled the interview for another day. On the day of the pair programming interview, it was very well. The question was a tic-tac-toe game implementation in Python. I was fine to share my full screen during the interview but the interviewer did not me to do screen sharing. It was interesting that the interviewer asked me to not use any AI tools during the interview. How come they know it if I am not sharing my screen? This is 2nd red flag. I think it is around easy to medium leetcode level. I had interaction with the interviewer and completed the coding. On the next day, I received an email from the recruiter that they decided to proceed to other candidates. The email was very generic and canned response. No specific feedback was given. Overall, this experience led me a lot of questions and not a fair process.
