I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Revolut in Feb 2024
Interview
Long Interview process, 6 interviews in total.
4 of them were technical, 1 HR and 1 meet your manager/team.
The technical part had quite easy parts but also quite difficult.
The first two technical interviews required some basic knowledge of programming language and algorithms. The last 2 technical interviews were quite difficult and required more advanced knowledge.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Sorting algorithms, Binary Trees, Search Insert Position
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.
