I was headhunted by an internal recruitment sourcer at Revolut. I was not given any indication of the team I would have interviewed for, however I was explained that they were looking for a number of lead product managers to lead a number of teams. I agreed to have the first interview with the recruiter, keeping an open mind. The interview was an average screening process. I was asked to introduce myself and my achievements, and to talk about a time I took a product from ideation to launch. The recruiter praised my knowledge. He then informed me at the end of my interview that I should receive an email within 24 hours detailing the next steps. He explained that there would be three additional stages and he would support me throughout the process. He also reconfirmed that I was not been interviewed for a specific role and team, but they were all lead product manager positions available in terms of seniority. Instead, I received a rejection the following day for a product owner role, "as we have concluded that other candidates were more closely aligned with the job requirements and to our team". I was not given any job requirements. If I had, I would have been able to provide answers that were more closely aligned to the experience required since I have a wealth of experience spanning over 15 years in the technology sector. It is the second time I interview at Revolut. Both times, I was contacted for senior leadership roles and I was then rejected for more junior opportunities instead. I appreciate the fact they do not want to pigeon hole candidates into specific positions and they want to give everyone the opportunity to show their level of experience so they can find the best fit internally. However, I find the process lacks the required transparency that enables candidates to manage expectations and have a worthwhile experience regardless of the final outcome. Overall, I found both interview experiences really poor and messy and a bad reflection on the reputation of a company that claim to strive for excellence.
