I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at IFX Payments
Interview
First online call with HR, then video call with one of the team member, then final stage at the office with head of legal and the team. It was quick and the HR was responsive to questions. But the moment I stepped into the office I sensed the toxic culture, people looked sad and the atmosphere felt negative.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself, biggest achievement, why fintech, why leave your current employer, and detailed questions about your cv during the final stage at their office
I applied online. I interviewed at IFX Payments (London, England) in May 2026
Interview
Screening call was fairly straightforward, but the role itself felt less clearly defined than the job description suggested.
The JD positioned the role as payments/FX focused, but during the screening call it became clear the role is much more generalist and operational in nature than expected.
One important detail not mentioned in the job description was the expectation to be in the office 4 days per week, which may be relevant for candidates considering the role. Also salary range and expectations weren’t discussed.
The discrepancies between the JD and the discussion left me feeling that the role was less aligned with what had been advertised and potentially more chaotic operationally than expected. The team structure also appeared poorly resourced. My experience generally matches the reviews I read.
