I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (Londen, Engeland) in Oct 2019
Interview
I applied for the senior product designer in Revolut in October 2019 and I passed 2 rounds of design interviews and passed the design home task.
But finally failed in the last interview with a Product Owner. The rejected reason was super ridiculous. He thought I don’t have experience working with developers. I totally have no idea how he came out of this conclusion. If I don't have experience working with developers or I'm not able to work with developers, I couldn't have been working in the UX design field for so many years, and how I made so many designs I've done launched online?
I passed the design interviews and the home task which took me a lot of time. They confirmed and recognized my UI and UX ability but used an untrue thing to reject me. So I really question the professionalism and fairness in making the final decision of my application, or maybe it was the decision just from that PO. He is not even a designer. He made the rejection decision from a personal point of view, but not from a professional point of view. He doesn't like me, kept challenging me during the interview. He misunderstood what I said in the interview then I kept explaining to him. Finally, he used a totally untrue thing to reject me.
I’m so disappointed at Revolut and their interview policy.
They have it on their website - 6 rounds total. Only got to the second round with a design manager where you can share 1-2 case studies. The first round is just a screener with the recruiter.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They were keen to know the pace at which I currently work in, since they mentioned the pace at Revolut tends to be fast.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Revolut (Stockholm, ) in May 2026
Interview
The process was disorganized and, honestly, disappointing for a company of Revolut's reputation. In early conversations I was told the role would be shaped around my skills — most likely something in the loyalty space — and that there wasn't a fixed position so much as a fit to be defined. Later I received a rejection message stating there was actually "a clear role" all along, which contradicted what I'd been told and meant I was effectively assessed against criteria I was never made aware of.
What frustrated me most was that since the recruiter approached me (rather than me applying to a defined posting), I had no way to understand what they were looking for or to prepare and demonstrate the relevant strengths. Being rejected on those terms felt unfair.
Communication was also poor. After the rejection I followed up by email to ask for clarity, and two weeks passed with no reply at all. I eventually had to chase a response through a separate channel.
Advice to Management
If recruiters are going to reach out to candidates personally, there should be a clear, consistent picture of the role and expectations from the start, and basic follow-up on candidate emails. Approaching someone proactively and then rejecting them against undisclosed criteria — with no response to their questions — leaves a VERY bad impression.

Interview
Take a long interview process from general recruiter to head of product designer and still waiting for the result, but the process is enjoyable and not too complex and can catchup it even long process
