The recruiter was very friendly and clear. However, she explained that although my experience was at a Senior level, I would need to be open to removing the "senior" title from my position, as Revolut doesn't operate with such labels. She also mentioned that the pace of the company is extremely fast and expressed concern that I might struggle in the beginning. In fact, she shared that during her own initial period, she cried for an entire month. While I truly appreciated her openness and the fact that she shared her personal experience, I felt that this kind of detail might be better avoided in early conversations — it ended up making me feel a bit anxious about the role. Later, I received an email informing me that I hadn’t moved on to the next stage. After I requested feedback, they were very transparent and respectful in their response, which I really appreciated.

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.
