Answer 1

Hey there Monisha!

First of all: congrats for the invitation!

I may not have direct experience with the Product Owner role, but since Revolut is big in the online banking scene, I can definitely give you some pointers on the problem-solving interview based on my finance background.

From what I’ve heard, Revolut’s problem-solving interviews (sometimes also called case interviews) are all about testing your analytical skills and structured thinking. They’ll throw real-world scenarios at you, often related to their products, and see how you break down the problem and come up with actionable solutions.

You might get questions like:

“You’re a PM on the top-up team. How would you launch cash deposits?”
“Only 5% of Revolut users are using international transfers, and they want to double that. What’s your strategy?”

To prep for this, here’s my advice:

Know revolut’s products inside out: You need to understand their offerings, user base, and what sets them apart. This context helps you come up with relevant solutions. It would also be helpful to take a look at the most relevant competitors in the market.
Practice with case studies (tech and/or online banking ones would be best, but other ones, e.g. new product cases, would also work) to master structured problem-solving: The best way to get comfortable with problem-solving is by practicing case studies. It’ll help you learn to structure your thoughts, stay organized, and get a feel for the flow of case interviews. Here you can find PrepLounge's cases.
Get comfortable with basic tech lingo: You don’t need to code, but knowing your way around APIs, databases, and system architectures helps, especially since you’ll be working closely with engineers.
Communicate clearly and concisely: Practice explaining your thought process clearly and getting to the point. They’ll want to see if you can sell your ideas confidently.

Hope this helps and good luck with your prep and interview of course!

The Revolut Problem Solving Interview for the Product Owner position typically focuses on how you approach complex, often unstructured problems. You may be asked to analyze situations, come up with solutions, or prioritize tasks. It’s often about how you make decisions and present your reasoning.
