Recruiter reached out at the start of August, and after a quick screening call I was really excited about the role, and the idea of working for such a cool company. The recruiter was absolutely wonderful throughout the process, being exceptionally warm and easy to get along with - this made me all the more excited about the opportunity, and definitely helped shake any negative connotations of the working culture that have been floating around.
The take home task was relatively straightforward but definitely allowed you to showcase your ability to go above and beyond - which separated those who proceeded and those who didn't. The first part including segmentation/targeting for a comm, writing content for the channels you have chosen, and explaining how you would measure success. The second included a plan for launching a service comm.
After this, I proceeded to take part in 5 different remote 1:1 interviews. Because my hiring manager was on leave at the time, there was an additional interview early on in the process and I spoke to my hiring manager as one of the last steps.
Everyone I talked to was exceptionally down to earth, friendly, and warm - which again, debunked any preconception I had of the company. I talked to a Country Growth Manager, the VP of Comms & Public Affairs, the Head of Operations in Australia (case study), the Head of Growth (hiring manager), and the Head of Android Engineering (bar raiser). One noticeable trend is that everybody loved how if you had a point, and you backed it up, you were listened to. They expressed that If you didn't like something, it's within your power to try to implement change. Having worked in a similar environment at a competitor with successful results, this was appealing to me and confirmed that Revolut would be a place where I would thrive and learn from extremely capable individuals.
My favorite interview, funnily enough, was probably the final bar raiser, where I talked to (read: got grilled by) the head of Android development. He didn't hesitate to immediately ask questions about an internship I completed over 3 years ago as opposed to my time at my current company, which I was unprepared for, but took on. Overall, this was a unique style of interview that almost felt like a debate; having to back up your impact and achievements during a firing round of questions that dug deeper and deeper.
After my interview process at Revolut, it was obvious that culture fit is exceptionally important and they want the best people who are not afraid to ask for more, dive into the deep end, and rise to the challenge.
Ultimately, I had a parallel interview process unfolding and I decided to accept an offer out of Fintech - a B2B agency style CRM role in fashion E-commerce which was perhaps even more so out of my comfort zone, and therefore I believed it to be the best career move at the time. It was a very hard decision, as being Revolut's first CRM manager seemed like a great opportunity.
Overall, I was very impressed with Revolut, and would not hesitate to work here in the future after having experience in another industry.
As other interview reviews have expressed, one of the only negative aspects of the interviewing with them was the length of the process, which lasted around 2 months.
