My advice to anyone considering going through a recruitment process with Revolut is to clear your diary for a month. Each step is non standard and requires a significant amount of time to prepare. Despite the investment in time, feedback is only generic, and they don’t call you. My experience with the interviewers was largely positive until the final stage which was very concerning. A sourcer reached out to me through LinkedIn. The recruiter was great throughout and gave useful information about the interviews. The steps were – Aptitude test, Skills interview, Problem solving interview and ‘Bar Raiser’ interview with the Head of People. The final interview was a farce. The interviewer appeared in the online interview 7 minutes late, blaming his internet connection. However, there was a child screaming in the background throughout, so I suspect they had something to do with the delay. The interviewer was clearly unprepared, as he then had to find my LinkedIn profile, so a further delay. Given the interview was only scheduled for 30 minutes, the interaction was very rushed. The interviewer showed zero interest in meeting me, and clearly wasn’t listening. He asked questions that did not make sense for my profile - for example asking me why I made the decision to leave a role I did 8 years ago, when I had already explained it was a six-month contract role to perform a project which I completed. He spent an inordinate amount of time asking questions about this role, and little time asking about my more relevant experience since. The most shocking part of the interview was at one point he interrupted me when I was mid-sentence and literally shouted at me to disagree that an achievement I had begun to describe was a regulatory requirement and not an achievement. I cannot comprehend why he did that, I wasn’t describing a regulatory requirement at all, but for me that outburst was a red line. I knew instantly I wasn’t going to be selected, and I would question my own judgement if I went into an organisation where it is acceptable to behave in that way. The remainder of the conversation was robotic. The role has now been advertised on LinkedIn, so whoever they offered the role to in the end must have also concluded it is not for them too.

1st stage was a discussion with recruiter, then there was a test (math, logic, verbal understanding questions). I found the test very difficult. Next, I had interview with the hiring manager. Unfortunately, I was declined after the meeting. I was told that next stages would include skill assesment and bar raiser interview.
