I applied online. I interviewed at Revolut (Lisboa, Lisboa)
Interview
Premier entretien avec une employé des Ressources Humaines.
Entretien RH classique avec 2-3 questions pour détailler les experiences qui sont sur le CV. J'ai eu l'impression que l'interviewer me posaient sa liste de questions habituelles mais ne s'intérressait pas vraiment à ce que je racontais
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (Londres, Inglaterra) in Aug 2024
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn to schedule an interview. However, on the interview another person turned up late and asked to re-join in 15min as they had another meeting.
Basic questions for 1st stage interview. They were focused on SWIFT, ISO20022 and SQL (which is odd as not needed in Payments). As far as i know Revolut hasnt migrated to ISO20022 but asking for expert knowledge isnt reasonable because these requirements will be given to devs and once migrated to MX/FinPlus there wont be manual MT103s anymore. Issue is their HR doesnt understand any of this just looking to hear a made up response.
Their lateness and all the negative reviews on glassdoor put me off from the start and seemed accurate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Your experience, around SWIFT, ISO20022, SQL, Projects that you have led. Standard questions from HR who have no banking understanding.
45 min case study round. Hr described the interview round and gave sample case study as well. In the actual round, was asked How will you improve utilization rate of cross border payment feature for revolut. They have an answer in mind which you have to find out else you are out. Be MECE only in solutioning and not fact finding.
