Only did 1 interview with HR. Spotted a number of red flags. - Someone from Airwallex sends me a blank email and a Zoom call invite. You read that right, a blank email. Turns out it was the HR. - This HR girl, did not seem interested from the start and ended the call early. - She failed to ask questions such as leadership style or people management that were in line with the seniority level of the role. - She sidestepped, could not answer well, or refused to answer typical candidate questions her company's culture, interview process and compensation levels. It is very likely that this interview was a box-ticking exercise for HR. Advise others not to waste their time with Airwallex. If you have talent, apply elsewhere for a place that deserves you.

The first 3 rounds were solid. Hiring manager and team stakeholders/ peers were prepared, engaged, and professional. Feedback was positive at every stage. The process moved fast and based on those interactions I was genuinely interested. However the final rounds were with the APAC leadership and exposed serious red flags in the team culture. He was late to the interviews, rude and dismissive throughout- just a vague, circular fixation on "execution". He seemed to have made up his mind before showing up to the interview. No structure, no rigour, just a super weird way of conducting interview with candidates who have already passed an extensive vettting process ( multiple functional interviews, panel, case study presentation, HR chat).
