I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Revolut in Aug 2024
Interview
The first round of the interview was with the recruiter/HR/whatever. The overall experience wasn't great; I think the person asking me questions didn't even understand the topic.
The next round was called the "Design Skills Interview." Basically, you have to present two cases from your past, a pretty standard thing. I have a slide deck for such rounds.
After the first case, the interviewer literally interrogated me. It felt like a roasting of my work, and I think that was because the interviewer had worked in almost the same area at their previous job, and the problem I tried to solve in my case resonated with the interviewer too much. It lasted for 20 minutes or so, and for the second case, I had only 5 minutes.
The interviewer mentioned my strong UI skills and promised to get back with feedback by the end of the week. Two days later, Revolut sent me an email with regrets and a decision not to progress further with my application, without detailed feedback.
The next rounds of the interview would have been a home task, then a whiteboard challenge, and if I'm not mistaken, the final interview.
Overall experience... Idk, cold and rigid.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pretty standard questions in the first round, too deep and personal on the second.
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.

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.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Revolut (Londen, Engeland) in Mar 2026
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
