I applied online and received an email from the recruiter a month later. The next step was just a simple professional background check on call before heading to the next round.
The second interview was with a peer on video. The interviewer was considerate, asked all the right question regarding the role, and sounded like someone who knew the work process. It went well (i think), and I left the call feeling confident and excited to have a chance to work with the company.
The third round was a home task to be finished in 5 working days. After a review of the website (part of the home task), I came across some glaring spelling errors that I corrected in the home task document. Looked at some communication mishaps in the past (plagiarism) and some pretty bad PR. I was sure they required someone from a creative agency background because their ripoff of the Spotify campaign would have never happened if the person had ever worked in an agency.
The next round took an additional 10 days because the person responsible was unavailable.
4th Round: I was told this was a strategic and analytical interview. When on call the manager seemed inexperienced in communications, because they were new in the role. I didn't fret, I had dealt with MBAs venturing into creative before but unfortunately, it was not going well. There were no questions regarding creative strategies or communications in general. The questions weren't role based and could be asked of anyone. They covered professional milestones, same as before, even after the role advertised was for a person with 2 years experience. Anyway, the questions that progressed were a bit vague from a personal experience POV or data strategy related, a bit off the course for a communications job. I received a rejection 2 days later.
In a mail earlier with the recruiter, I was informed that if I had been progressed ahead, there were two more rounds, i.e., Problem Solving and a Bar-raising interview.
I must say with 6 rounds, this is time consuming process and explains a lot about about the reviews on Glassdoor. Having said that, it's a unicorn start-up, and everyone i talked to seemed on a professional high. Would love to have a chance to break into Revolut.
