I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (London, England) in Oct 2019
Interview
Absolutely shocking recruiter. I applied for the role and was contacted within a couple of days and arranged an original screen which he was 5 mins late for. We briefly touched on money where I stated my expectations and was assured these could be met. I then completed an online assesment which pointless and as long as you can read, you can complete it. I was then asked to come on site to the office for an interview. Upon arriving, I was then told I was interviewing for a Lead role. I hadn't been given any prep for what I was interviewing for nor the actual job, I had thought I was coming for the job I had applied for, which would be logical. The rooms were not booked properly and we had to hunt around the office for spare space. I was then called after the interview and asked "Did you bring your personality" and so many others that clearly showed no notes were being taken nor was he listening. He then said that they would look to pay £45k for a senior role, about £20k shy of my expectations and over £10k on my current comp and then said I had not been listening to what he had said. I then received an email 2 days later saying 'Sorry we're not going to hire you' Seriously?! You call this candidate experience? Absolute poor show. The other recruiter did call to apologise to say this was not best practice within the business. But unfortunately, if you're paying £45k for seniors, you can't expect much different to be honest.

I applied online. I interviewed at Revolut in Jun 2026
Interview
Devastating to see as someone interviewing for the Talent team - this is the type of experience that gives Recruiters a bad wrap. Completed a 40 minute assessment before even having a conversation. I moved to the next round for a Recruiter Screen only to be ghosted after multiple follow ups.

Question 1
Sent personality assessment before even getting on a cal..
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Revolut
Interview
Passed multiple stages and did not receive feedback. I have been contacted multiple times on linkedin by different recruiters with the same position but they disappeared after a question about previous interview process outcome
After I applied online. I was asked without a first introduction call to complete an online assessment. I prepared for that assessment but since I could not do it from a laptop I asked for the deadline to be extended. I was then gosthed by the recruiter who never answered my emails and Linkedin inmails.
This is quite a bitter experience : being asked to prepare for a test without a first chat and then being ignored. A simple "No we can't extend the test deadline" would have done the job. Not quite the recruitment process described online.
In 2026 caring for the candidate experience is key to keep the employer branding safe. Wishing you to find the suitable candidate who will challenge your current practices.
