I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (London, England) in Oct 2019
Interview
Interview with the recruiter was lovely, she was amazing to talk to and gave me helpful advice.
Second step of the interview process was the design task, which was challenging and interesting to do. It was supposed to be reviewed by someone on the Design team. I didn't go through to the next step of the process, and I'm glad I didn't. The feedback on my task was vague, uninformative, and frankly quite rude. When I asked for clarification of certain points of feedback (like the critique of UI elements and the "bad" colour palette, even though I used their own assets), I got the exact same copy-pasted answer as I did the first time. This seemed quite unprofessional. It appeared as if the person giving me feedback just skimmed through my response, and didn't quite know what the task itself was. If the company gives pointless feedback, I'd rather they gave none at all.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
My background, what's my dream job, how I view UX design. The task was to do with the improvement of a function in the Revolut app.
Recruiter was all over the place, he didn't respond to any of my questions. Had to chase him over email and even then, didn't get any answers. Very one sided.

Question 1
What processes do you have in place to elevate quality?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Revolut (Stockholm, Stockholm) in May 2026
Interview
The process was disorganized and, honestly, disappointing for a company of Revolut's reputation. In early conversations I was told the role would be shaped around my skills — most likely something in the loyalty space — and that there wasn't a fixed position so much as a fit to be defined. Later I received a rejection message stating there was actually "a clear role" all along, which contradicted what I'd been told and meant I was effectively assessed against criteria I was never made aware of.
What frustrated me most was that since the recruiter approached me (rather than me applying to a defined posting), I had no way to understand what they were looking for or to prepare and demonstrate the relevant strengths. Being rejected on those terms felt unfair.
Communication was also poor. After the rejection I followed up by email to ask for clarity, and two weeks passed with no reply at all. I eventually had to chase a response through a separate channel.
Advice to Management
If recruiters are going to reach out to candidates personally, there should be a clear, consistent picture of the role and expectations from the start, and basic follow-up on candidate emails. Approaching someone proactively and then rejecting them against undisclosed criteria — with no response to their questions — leaves a VERY bad impression.

Take a long interview process from general recruiter to head of product designer and still waiting for the result, but the process is enjoyable and not too complex and can catchup it even long process
