I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (Portugal) in Aug 2025
Interview
I had a 20-minute screening interview, but unfortunately, it felt rushed. I didn’t feel fully heard or comfortable during the conversation, and my questions weren’t addressed properly. Additionally, the interviewer wasn’t able to clearly explain how different positions and seniority levels are structured at Revolut.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jul 2025

Team fit interview
Design interview where you present your case studies - overall, I was fine with the process, except for Revolut’s public policy of "We hire smart people" - I think the company needs to clarify who they consider “smart” and what exactly they mean by it. I presented a fairly complex case - both in terms of data and design challenges - but the interviewer barely understood it and kept asking the same questions.
If what you want to see is how I removed input fields and that made things easier for users and improved metrics - just say that. But if you can’t grasp complex, “smart” solutions and nuanced problem-solving, maybe it’s time to adjust your public narrative.
So if you’re applying to Revolut, take the simplest, most straightforward redesign of a basic screen and walk them through the “right process.” Don’t waste time trying to prove how “smart” you are.
