I was approached by a recruiter from the company, who explained the role and next steps. I received an email indicating a Pair Programming exercise, with options to schedule it with the team. I chose a time and scheduled it. However, the explanations on the Wise website about PP interviews differed slightly from the recruiter’s email. I tried to clarify this, but the recruiter’s response was unhelpful. On the day of the Zoom interview, I joined the call and waited over 15 minutes for the other party to join, but nobody joined. I dropped the call and emailed the recruiter, but she never replied. I had read negative reviews beforehand, but I tried to stay positive and decided to proceed with the first interview. Unfortunately, it resulted in a terrible experience.
