I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (London, England) in Mar 2020
Interview
One of their recruiters reached out to me on LinkedIn multiple times before I agreed to schedule a call. I was sceptic at first because I knew about the problems within the company but in the end, I decided to interview with them because I was interested in what they were doing.
The recruiter was nice and he wanted to know about my past experiences. He also explained everything about their interview process as well as how they are trying to improve their company culture after I asked him about it.
After that, they asked me to schedule a call for a portfolio review with 2 designers, although it took them 2 weeks to book the call because they were busy. When we finally had the call, the 2 designers were very cold and not friendly at all, which made me a bit uncomfortable.
The fact that only one of them was talking was also a bit weird. The other person didn't say a single word after the introduction and it seemed like he was bored and had just woke up. At some point, he even left the call without saying anything.
After I presented a couple of projects, the only person remaining started asking a few questions, which I found a bit unrelated to what I was presenting. In the end, I had the impression that he wasn't really listening to me.
A few days later, the recruiter told me they were impressed and wanted me to move to the next stage, which was a home task about a product similar to their app. It took me 3 days to complete the task but after I sent it to them, it took 1 one to know the result, which was unsuccessful. They thanked me for taking the time to interview and left me with a poorly written feedback in which they mentioned that they didn't like my solution.
Overall a bad experience.

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.

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
I applied online. I interviewed at Revolut (Athens, Athens, Attica) in Feb 2026
Interview
Really fast paced process. Very professional approach. Both HR and Head of design were very polite and transparent regarding the process and the role. They also provided constructive feedback regarding what I can improve on my portfolio and overall skills as a Product designer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The head of design asked me to describe why I decided to collect the user metrics I presented in my case study and how I think these metrics show the value/impact of my design.
