I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (Londen, Engeland) in Aug 2022
Interview
1. HR Call
General HR screening call to understand the role and interest. Standard stuff.
2. Screening Call
High-level screening call to understand CV, fit and motivations. Done by a HR rep.
3. Problem-Solving case
Consulting-style case study interview. Revolut differ by not getting you to make assumptions. Interviewer was very friendly and helpful.
Case focused on improving recruitment process.
4. 'Bar-raiser' interview
This was the worst interview experience I have ever been apart of.
1) Interviewer was unprepared and instead of using my CV, asked CV questions based on my linkedin page
2) CV questions focused on older experiences not more recent ones which I think was not a fair representation.
3) Interviewer communication was limited and they failed to understand basic things.
4) Despite being told multiple times that the interview would only focus on my background, fit and motivations the interviewer brought out an old-school obscure style consulting case - how long would it take 100 cars to pass a green light.

I applied online. I interviewed at Revolut (Londen, Engeland)
Interview
1) HR interview, nothing special
2) 1 hour online test, super easy
3) Interview with manager. Standard McKinsey-like case interview. The call took 45-50 minutes only. I though I failed, but they invited my for the next round.
4) Bar raiser interview. I was supposed to demonstrate Revolut values, but interviewer didn't ask about it explicitly. I only described my past experience. Again, very short conversation, about 40 minutes.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Revolut in Jun 2022
Interview
First step was an interview with the recruiter, with some general questions we are used to have from recruiters. Very pleasant experience. Then I had a prep call with the same recruiter abou the case interview. However the subjects she told me to focus on were not mentioned on the next step.
This step was in same shape of consulting firms recruitment. I was very disapointed because it's a very outdated process fot a global fintech company like Revolut. There's no innovation and the company lost the opportunity of getting more specifc knowledge from the candidate. They could ask the casndidate for an Operations role about the OKRs they presume for some kind of process, for example, and the difference between defining OKRs for an early stage operation and an operation already settled. But they decided to hope from the candidate the ame recipe we find in big consulting firms.
Companies should stop thinking the consulting style recruitment is a good ideia these days.
Unfortunately, I had no feedback for the process, only an automatic message.

Question 1
Case related with recruitment process (ironically), in order to improve parts of the process in terms of shorten the time of response and conversion of appliants in the final step.
