Expect questions that will test your understanding of relevant programming languages such JavaScript and CSS, general web functions, and design experience with web services like REST and SOAP.

The most difficult part is getting to the second interview. It will not be in the same location as the first one but you will not be given the address. This is deliberate. You will be told you'll receive an address with driving instructions via email but they don't send it. They most you will get is some hastily rattled off directions to the location. (I know it is deliberate because I know other applicants who were all told they'd get an email and didn't.)

1. If I start a startup would I prefer writing unstructured code in two month or clean, efficient, testable code in a year. (Comparing 2 vs 12 months is a totally unrealistic example. Experienced developer would add new features faster when she/he has clean and well designed code base. There will be fewer bugs also. A good code base would never take 6 times longer to develop.) 2. Would I spend time to add a feature to Web app or to migrate it to ES6? 3. Why do some of TransferWise users drop off at the fourth transfer flow process, which is entering billing information? 4. What would I change to make more users to enter their billing information? 5. How would I know that my change improved the statistics if there were 10 more changes?
