Senior Full Stack Developer Interview Experience - Singapore, Singapore
Process
They are not really sure about their interview process. They always tell one thing, but it happens differently.
I had an initial round with the hiring manager, who told me since I had already cleared the online technical test, I would be called for a face-to-face interview. However, I was sent an online test again.
After clearing the online test and appearing in the face-to-face technical round (which were the only rounds, as described to me), I was to submit a solution with a REST service in two hours. When I submitted it, I was rejected, with no questions asked on design decisions, approach, or trade-offs. It felt like screening after appearing in four rounds.
When I mentioned this, the answer was, "Your design is not strong enough, and we had a great response for this role, so we will not continue. But you can reappear directly for a technical round after a few months."

- 4.0Good place to work for 1 or 2 yearsSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeSingapore, Singapore, SingaporeApril 15, 2019Pros: TransferWise has a really cool working culture. The people here are nice and willing to help you out. Each and every one takes initiative and their responsibility seriously: 1. No blaming: Whenever you make a mistake, accept it, fix it, then tell everyone your lesson. No one is going to blame you for that. 2. Absolutely no politics: You don't exactly have a boss; more like a mentor, guide, or leader, and normally they act like your friend. 3. Great learning curve: The company has a startup culture; most people have to do lots of stuff on the ground, which opens opportunities to learn. 4. Direct feedback on your performance from your co-workers: Every quarter or half a year, you will get feedback from people you have worked with about what you have done and what needs to be done. 5. Free trip to Estonia every year for a company event, where all employees gather, party, and have fun for 3 days.Cons: 1. Compensation is only acceptable. 2. Learning curve stales after the first year; there's not much else to do, and work becomes chores. 3. The company is growing too fast. Newcomers and people constantly moving between departments make it hard to have a stable team. 4. People have to define their own career path since the company is not clear on this.
