J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Revolut (Berlin) en mai 2020
Entretien
I have shared my info with them on LinkedIn and have been contacted by a recruiter. After a 30min interview, the recruiter requested to move to the next step by providing a design portfolio. The portfolio was reviewed by the design team and I have been invited to a "Problem-solving interview". The interview was with one person from the management team that asked a few questions about my process and one specific project I chose to discuss. It had no particular format, it was an open discussion, but I didn't feel like my problem-solving skills were being assessed in any way. Overall it felt rushed and not willing to actually learn too much about me as a candidate.

An exhausting and overly bureaucratic hiring process that dismisses candidates over a take-home assignment, even when they have a solid portfolio of real-world impact and results. You have to work for them (because of course they use this as reference to do their work), you have only 5 BUSINESS days to elaborate the home assignment but if you’re already working for another company, good look trying to get time to do that.
One aspect I genuinely appreciated was the clarity of communication throughout. The explanations of each stage, what to expect, what you were looking for, and the additional tips provided were thoughtful and well structured. It made the process feel organized and respectful of candidates’ time.
The experience would be significantly strengthened by including specific feedback following each stage. When candidates invest time and effort, thoughtful feedback is a meaningful and professional return on that effort. It supports growth and reflects positively on the company’s hiring standards. They do share feedback but the candidates need to ask for it specifically.

This was by far the worst interview experience of my entire career. There were lots of red flags, and even inexplicable rude behavior. I've never felt so disrespected during an interview process.
