The formal process was meant to be * two-four hour KYC assignment (that is never just that) given you have to conduct analysis using Python and/or Excel, as well as writing a report * five interviews (1 hr interviews) with various people, which then changed to six mid process The initial interview skimmed over the assignment with questions validating thought processes on equivalent scenarios. Subsequent interviews were to validate experience, workshop scenario based and behavioural questions. The final one was with someone quite senior at Revolut. I had overwhelmingly positive feelings towards the company and their mission, despite negative publicity in the media and people in my professional network. However some red flags arose with disorganisation in their recruitment team in providing timely and accurate correspondence to questions. On balance communication with candidates I would rate as poor, which is a big problem if you want to attract talent and provide a positive experience. Things started from a “catch up” call about available roles to a initial informal screening interview for a role on offer (with a different hiring manager). Though unexpected, something I envisage not all candidates would accommodate. Scheduling seemed to be a recurring issue, with an ask of a half day off. This was able to change to smaller 1-2 hour blocks that still needed to be moved around. If Revolut needed something from you they would be in communicative, but requests/clarifications required constant follow up or chasing with at times incomplete answers. Hence expectation management is poor, and being a startup isn’t an excuse as we are all trying to do things fast and be successful! About half way through the process, the five interview process became six. The final interview with someone quite senior at Revolut went well, although due to Internet connectivity issues on their side they didn’t introduce themselves properly and the video interview had to change to voice. Materially it shouldn’t affect the process, but if rapport counts for anything it’s not ideal. In trying to get feedback the recruitment team: * provided a dead scheduling link * have been uncommunicative in rescheduling * have not responded to emails Disappointing experience I would summarise this interaction as with Revolut. This is despite some of the interesting and smart people I spoke to. Having invested a significant amount of time in the process, it all seemed like a waste. Warning that the time Revolut will invest in you for recruitment seems asymmetric to what they expect from you! I'm quite shocked to say this as for managerial roles there is an element of ensuring a company is the right fit for a candidate not solely just the other way around. Perhaps I dodged a bullet, only time will tell?
