I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut in Feb 2021
Interview
First Round was an informal session where general HR questions were asked.
Afterward, home task SQL assignment (catching fraudsters) and Case Study assignment (improving KYC) were given. I got rejected in this round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1)Why Revolut? Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years? What are your strengths and weakness?
2) No of customers who successfully completed KYC has drastically reduced in recent times, find out root cause of this issue.
3) Find 5 likely fraudsters and explain how you found them and why they are likely fraudsters.
very basic interview, the interviewer wasn't in the same country, so she didn't have enough knowledge about the regulatory process. Questions were very basic and interview was short and friendly.
The entire interview process took 8 weeks starting from when my application was sent. The process begins with a short online test, then a half hour call with the recruiter, and then a call with a senior ops manager for a problem-solving case study interview.
After this last interview, I did not receive any feedback or reason as to why I failed, but I suspect this is because my answers did not match with whatever list of answers the interviewer was allowed to accept.
Overall, it was a decent interview process although I found the interviewers hard to connect with.

Give an example of when you used data to solve a problem?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Revolut in Mar 2022
Interview
Standard HR screening call, followed by ‘problem solving’ interview.
Problem solving interview was fairly pitched, tasked with improving CSAT score of a fictional airport.
Interview was conducted at 1900 with interview in same time zone. This made me recall other reviews highlighting poor work life balance.
Interviewer could not have looked less interested in my responses. It was conducted virtually and he was gazing around the room wherever he was - embarrassingly rude and infuriating. When I called him out on this, he brushed it off and tried to move on.
Glad I didn’t get an offer if that’s how hiring managers treat candidates.
