I applied online. I interviewed at Revolut (Barcelona) in Dec 2023
Interview
HR screening call. Interviewer rushed through questions and didn't seem interested in my replies. The screening call was mostly going over my work experience. At one point he asked if I had leadership experience, I said no. I asked about the specifics for the position and got very vague answers.
He told me I'd move on to the next stage which was a portfolio review. He asked me to submit my portfolio and I got a rejection email 2 days later in the middle of the holiday season, leads me to believe no one actually reviewed my portfolio. I understand if maybe I wasn't a good match or they wanted someone with leadership experience, but all of this was in my resume (which I've submitted previously). Why interview me at all if I'm not a match?
As other reviews mention, seems like their MO is scheduling interviews to fill a quota with no real interest in the candidates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Previous work experience.
Why are you interested in Revolut?
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, 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 (London, England) 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
