>Demanding long hours is unfair but rather common unfortunately
What is unfair about this? What is so wrong about dedicating yourself to a company you beleive in? Revolut is an awesome company, doing amazing things.
I worked at Tesla, and unless you had something fun to do for the weekend (Like tahoe or something) they expected you to be in the office. I LOVED working at Tesla. I ended up leaving to start my own company a few years ago, but i will remember my time at Tesla for the rest of my life.
>Demanding you recruit hundreds of customers, for free, to even be considered for an interview is downright exploitative. I don’t think any but the most predatory companies do this and it’s probably not even worth the legal exposure.
This literally makes no sense and I think you are conflaiting something here? How would i recruit customers if i didn't work at the company? Are you talking they hired a bunch of people who had very high referals to the company? I know they offer a bonus if you refer your friends, so looking through those logs and hiring all the people who have high referals sounds like a great business move to me.
> making people jump through this hoop, you make sure you’re only keeping docile and compliant people in your pipeline who can be abused and overworked.
Or you ensure you are hiring the most highly motivated people who believe in the mission. "Docile and compliant" doesn't work at high pressure, tech companies... You are eaten up and spit out pretty quickly at the brashness, demands and stress to perform.

It’s the third paragraph in the article I linked:
> The instructions on the exercise said the applicants should recruit at least 200 clients in a week to have a chance at passing to the next interview phase.
