I went through four stages: 1. An initial 30 minute call with the recruiter 2. A 30 minute call with one of the Directors 3. A task to do at home (which took me hours) 4. An hour onsite interview I understand there would have been another stage after that had I gotten through. They were really looking for someone passionate about Fintech and about TransferWise's mission, so study up in advance and prepare some answers on this. Other questions were generally competency based and 'what would you do in this situation..'

The initial screening with HR was very smooth. Relaxed and engaging - very much an open two way conversation to manage expectations for both parties. Second stage interview, not sure what was going on. Interviewer seemed bored and disinterested within 5 minutes. Slumped at her desk, didn't look like she was listening. Very disheartening and discouraging, but made me realise I didn't want to work there and it was clearly all hype. The "people first" approach they claim to champion did not translate in the slightest.
