J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Revolut en oct. 2023
Entretien
Classic Revolut process:
- Contact from Recruiter on Linkedin
- First interview with the recruiter
- HackerRank
- Live Coding
I did not pass the live coding which is a very old-fashioned way to assess programming skills. The rejection itself can be understandable, what I found extremely unprofessional was the attitude shown by the interviewer during the whole meeting: she was very distant and she seemed not very interested, she did nothing to put me at ease and she would rather add tension by having a very aggressive tone.
The experience was quite unpleasant

Entretien
A entrevista foi excessivamente técnica e impessoal, com pouca abertura ao diálogo. O entrevistador mencionou ter apenas 15 minutos, o que transmitiu pressa e dificultou uma troca mais equilibrada e informativa.

This interview process was disappointing and felt poorly handled overall. I received an initial email inviting me to complete a technical task via HackerRank. The documentation provided clearly outlined which coding language and exercises applied to the role I had applied for, and which applied to a different engineering role. However, the actual HackerRank test I was assigned corresponded to the other role, not the one referenced in the invitation.
I went ahead and completed the task anyway, as I had some familiarity with the language. After submitting it, I tried contacting the recruiter multiple times, but despite three follow-up emails over two weeks, I never received a response. A few weeks later, I was notified that the role had already been filled.
The lack of communication and personal consideration made the experience feel impersonal and disconnected. Given the time candidates are asked to invest, even if it’s only a couple of hours, clearer expectations and basic follow-up would go a long way toward creating a more respectful interview process.
