By far this is one of the worst processes I have undergone in my time recruiting. The process starts with HR emailing you and "accelerating" (their words) you through the process by giving you an excel assignment that takes over a week to complete. They will say it takes 3-4 hours, but no it does not. Mind you, at this stage you have not had any conversation whatsoever with HR, have had zero clarity on the role or the process but are expected to turn in this arduous assignment, only after which they will determine if you are good enough to actually speak with you.
I cleared this stage and had a conversation with the hiring manager. At no point did they bring up the task I had submitted or bother to speak more to the position. When asked about the culture, some nuggets of answers they have include:
1) US culture is different from the UK culture- we are much closer and are a mini team, with lots of autonomy (if you know about revolut, you know about the Wire article on their culture- this response felt like a cop-out)
2) You will hear from us in the next few weeks- i dont know the timeline (at this point even if you have decided not to pursue conversations, it was pretty weird to suggest that the team is not aware of the few weeks worth of timeline to get back to an applicant)
3) they asked me a question saying they were curious to learn if i had experience with xyz saying it does not impact the process, but it clearly did because towards the end i think this became the determining factor.
All in all, the process with Revolut was disrespectful of my time and effort. They rejected me with a generic email and never responded to my request for additional feedback.
