First phone interview with HR
Then two home exercises (KYC and Fraud).
After that, I had a face to face interview booked in Canary Wharf
15 minutes before the interview, I received a call from HR saying that the guy who was supposed to interview me was late. I gently asked "how much late? if it's 30 minutes I can wait, if it's more it is going to be difficult"
5 minutes before the interview, while I was already heading back to the tube station, I received another call from HR and they told me they were able to book another guy for the interview.
I did the interview with a guy with 3 years of total working experience while I have 15 years.
It was really embarrassing.
Two days after, without any feedback, I received an email from Revolut asking me to fill a small survey about the interview process. They sent me the survey before the feedback!
One day after, I received the standard email "we have decided not to progress further with your application" without any more detailed feedback.
The whole process was simply amateur
Overall it made me doubt the whole product, strategy and culture.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut
Interview
The interview was rather structured. First, they sent a link to HackerRank where 4 simple questions were asked. Then I had a chat with HR rep with some follow-up questions. Then a home task was sent. It was fine, meant to be a simplified example on problems to be solved in the positions. Having successfully solved it, I had a tech interview with two Data scientists from the group. The questions were interesting, the difficulty level was right.
Then an interview the product managers was due. It was meant to assess cultural fitness. This would be fine if there were any information on culture of Revolut. They asked me to speak about an interesting project as well.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut
Interview
-> Cool HackerRank initial test
-> Screen with hr told him I wanted to join fincrime ds team.
-> Assignment about product. Not very clear but did it anyways.
-> Interview with two data scientists, everything went quite smooth, especially I believe I answered all technical questions thoroughly.
Then received a mail telling me I wasn’t retained based on some business considerations about the product. A bit disappointing when you want to do fincrime.
Overall, felt a bit like losing lot of time on the wrong assignment
