The interview process was quite long: an initial conversation with recruiter, an assessment, two live challenges and a final bar raiser interview. Before each stage, I had a prep call with the recruiter and these were helpful. I found that the team I met with for the live challenges were personable and engaged and asked questions that allowed me to demonstrate my skills and knowledge. I was told in the prep call that the final bar raiser interview would be an opportunity to showcase my achievements and talk about my strengths as well as weaknesses. I found the bar raiser interview to have a different tone to the other interviews I had completed. It felt like there was a set of questions I had to answer which weren’t tailored to me and my experience, and it felt like most of the questions focussed on my weaknesses, almost how I ‘lower the bar’. It felt rushed. After the interview, I felt quite deflated. It would be better if the questions were more tailored and personable especially for final interviews where hours of interviewee and recruiter time have gone into preparation. I didn’t pass the bar raiser interview despite passing the four previous stages with no concerns from interviewers. It would make more sense for the bar raiser interview to be one of the first interviews to save company and candidate time if this interview/interviewer has so much weighting. I spent around 15 hours preparing and interviewing with Revolut and when I asked for feedback after not being successful, I was told that Revolut could not provide any feedback. It would be good if at least some feedback should a candidate get to a certain point within the interview process. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend applying right now but have seen Revolut is making positive steps with its culture and accountabilities going forwards so fingers crossed this also trickles down to positively impact the interview process!
