Went through a recruiter interview where in they ask the typical hiring questions. Was endorsed to a more senior PM to conduct a skills test where it tests how someone scopes a certain problem.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For the existing flow, how can the flow be improved with respect to a certain metric
The process was comfortable. Hr manager is very cool, explained everything in detail. Unfortunately I was explained the test assignment poorly and did not fully understand it. Other than that, everything else was great.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (Londres, Inglaterra) in Aug 2023
Interview
During the interview process, I encountered several red flags that made me question the company culture and the role expectations:
1. The number of interviews implied a lack of trust within the department, as I had to meet with the numerous individuals. The final interview stage was described as “extra” as the person wanted to be involved in the hiring process, which suggested excessive micromanagement.
2. Revolut has a notorious reputation as a toxic workplace, where KPIs are prioritized over employees’ well-being. In an attempt to address this, the CultureLab was launched in Feb’23. However, when I inquired about it, employees openly confessed that nothing had improved and that it was still a “target-driven environment where you have to be fast on your feet”.
3. Everyone I spoke to seemed overworked, stressed, and generally unwelcoming, as if the interview process itself was a burden or a chore for them.
4. A main part of the interview was a “whiteboard process” where they expected PMs to solve a hypothetical problem using the MECE framework. In reality, they were not interested in seeing the framework applied but wanted a specific answer to the question posed. The problem was so vague and unstructured (every criterion that I presented them with was dismissed as “equal”) that it was impossible to pass this stage unless you already worked at Revolut. Alternatively, they were looking for pure theorists rather than experienced Product Managers
