I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Revolut
Interview
Process goes almost smoothly if you apply through referral who already works in company. Recruiter is friendly an steps while you successfully pass interview stages. But stops to respond after you fail.
Interviewers - if you are lucky - you get friendly. If not - sorry and you fail
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Live coding - url shortener, Tech interview: account transfer + questions on dbs, python and ops. System Design: be prepared for new tasks that wasn't showed on glassdoor (would not teaser)
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.
