      AML Reporting Specialist Interview

      30 Dec 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wise in Dec 2021

      Interview

      Insincere interview with Wise Wise sent me a home task right after my application. It was about preparing a suspicious activity report for 20 money transfers. I needed to mention the red flags by explaining the rationale behind that, and it should not be longer than a half-page. I passed the home task, and they arranged an interview with one of the AML Team Leads. It took one hour, and Team Lead asked about my background and previous experience, and I explained my common responsibilities, which match the applied job position. TL also asked me some definitions which are used in the AML. You can find them in the interview questions part. I only don't know one of the definitions, and finally, TL told me, ok, you have a great experience, and you are a very organized person and added that 'wish my team members should be like you' etc.. To sum up, I believe I had had a positive interview the day after I got my rejection. The only explanation is 'we have found candidates we feel are a better fit for the AML Reporting Specialist role right now.' I request additional feedback from HR and the Team Lead that I interviewed with, but there is no response. This is a bit insincere for me because if you think this candidate is not suitable for the role due to various reasons, you need to reflect on this. When the Team Lead says you have a very good experience you are familiar with definitions in this field you are a very organized person etc.. you frankly think that you are suitable for the position. I want to say that please don't act fake in interviews! Btw, this is not my first time in Wise that I had such an experience. Now I start to think that this is like a company policy and maybe HR or Management advise them to conduct interviews in this way.

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wise in Jun 2025

      Interview

      Overall interview started with Job Application>Take Home Test>Zoom Interview. It was a 1:1 interview with the team lead based in Budapest at evening (local time). Interview was very brief, done in less than 30 minutes. A neutral experience, not a 2 way conversations as interviewer seems to be wanting to get it done quick. I was told that was the final stage and result will be emailed in the next following week. The disappointing part is that they never email the result even after I sent a follow up email to the hiring team. It'd have been better to let us know even if we dont make it instead of ghosting the candidates.

      Application

      I interviewed at Wise (Tallinn)

      Interview

      The interview was not very difficult. Just prepared it beforehand. You are good to go. There were a lot behavioral questions rather than AML related ones. Such as how do you handle work related stress and describe a time when you could not meet the deadline.
