I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut in Nov 2021
Interview
30 min introduction call with HR (basic overview of company business, culture, teams, benefits, potential locations, basic overview of process steps). One hour of live coding with one engineer (check coding skills, etc)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design and implement simple interface, cover it with tests. Big focus on what and how it should be tested.
HR -> Live coding -> Tech -> System design
Overall the before starting the recruitment process it's worth mastering concurrency, DB(especially PostgresSQL), and transaction management. Company seems to be working mostly with Java, Kotlin and a little with Scala
I got contacted by a recruiter. As a first step, I had a call with another recruiter. He was also asking technical questions, but it felt strange. (A bit like talking to a wall.)
I was rejected with a generic message stating that I was not "aligned with the position". This is weird as it was inbound and based on my profile. No feedback, of course.
Waste of time.
Very kind. The questions weren’t easy, but with knowledge of database configurations, concurrency, locks, and some practical experience, you are able to answer them clearly, confidently, and effectively overall. It was good time.
