Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Problem Solving Round: They will give you a generic problem statement. Idea should be to go as you would solve a normal case study keeping in mind all the possible scenarios and not to miss anything. But Revolut case study Interview is different as I read reviews similar to my personal experience. Interviewer will always be in hurry and will not let you finish your thought process. You would think that I should cover all the case scenarios and have a holistic approach but interviewer already has a solution in mind and if you do not reach there ,you'll be rejected.
Following in my experience of Case study Interview;
- Interviewer looked busy and didn't want to go into much detail
- Found inaccuracy in the information provided. Used MECE framework to divide the problem and conveyed the same to interviewer where he denied some of the possible reasons and later wanted me to cover the same later in the solution.
- Interviewer could be 5-10 mins late but won't extend for you to complete even for a second as if they just want to get over with it
Recommendation - Apply only if you can afford to waste 5-6 round of interviews/discussions as there is a preparation call after each round.
I was contacted through LinkedIn. The process went as follows:
1. HR call: positive experience. Mix between understanding my background deeper and giving HR information regarding the role. Recruiter was helpful, professional, and friendly.
2. Online test: positive experience. Went as expected and felt relatively easy.
3. HR call: positive experience; was briefed on next steps.
4. Take-home exercise: skipped this step
5. Business case: positive experience. Interviewer was professional, friendly and collaborative. Case was simple in design but allowed for extensive discussions.
6. Bar raiser interview: terrible experience. Stone-cold interviewer who wasn’t agile between questions and shortened the interview to a ridiculous duration. No follow-up question asked. Interviewer didn’t bother answering questions regarding his experience/the firm with any full sentence. Very confusing experience that felt like a loss of time…

Question 1
In the bar raiser interview: what was the mission of your previous role and your business metrics, who were you reporting to, how would your previous employer rate your performance out of 10, did you get promoted within the same timeline as your peers, what was one of your main achievements, what is an elegant but simple solution you found to a problem, tell me about a time you solved an inefficiency in a process
made it till round 4(problem solving interview). Good experience. They arranged screening call, then aptitude test, then PS. The interviewers were friendly and supportive. PS round was difficult for me as I was not able to think on the spot during the interview.
Long. Pre-screening, aptitude test, gmat sort of test, problem solving, case, bar raiser. I had a bad experience. Not because the interviews very difficult, but the attitude was rude, they were mean, arrive late to the calls. If that is the interview...how is the working culture day by day?
