The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut
Interview
I was interview on the senior backend developer role. It consist of these steps:
1) 1h - Call with HR, where he suddenly starts to ask you technical questions (cqrs, O(n) , log(n), etc)
2) 1h - Live code assessment with 1-2 developers
3) 1h - Another deep tech talk with 1-2 devs, also practical task, but mostly questions
4) ~1h - Design tech talk, architecture
5) HR soft skills talk
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
2) On live code assessment I was asked to write 3 tasks in a row on the same project about load balancing, just to look up at code speed writing, no deep knowledge needed. Junits.
3) A lot of irrelevant questions, deep understanding of how everything works under the hood, small code task on concurrency code, isolation levels, atomicy, replica and sharding, microserevices and monolith, I was expecting them to ask which assembler commands being called for particular operation.

Interview
The experience was disappointing and reflected a lack of professionalism.
The interaction gave the impression of a disorganised or potentially unhealthy work culture.
Answered most of the questions accurately and to the best of my ability.
The interview was initially scheduled for a short time slot. Toward the end, the interviewer asked for my availability and indicated that they would schedule a follow-up session to continue the discussion. However, no further communication or follow-up was received.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Revolut in May 2026
Interview
During the initial HR screening call, the recruiter explicitly stated that Revolut was not hiring for a specific team and that team fit would be determined only after the coding and system design stages.
However, after passing the screening, I received the following rejection message: “After carefully reviewing your experience, we've decided to move forward with candidates whose profiles more closely align with the specific requirements of the role. Please note that this decision is based on current team needs.”
This creates a clear inconsistency in the communication. If team allocation and specific requirements were to be evaluated only in later technical rounds, a rejection citing “current team needs” right after screening appears contradictory. Such practices can lead to candidates investing time in the interview process based on incomplete or misleading information at the early stage.

Interview
I interviewed for a Senior Software Engineer (Java) role.
The process was structured and fairly fast-paced: recruiter/screening conversation, technical discussions (coding and system design) focused on backend engineering and distributed systems, and a final manager/team-fit stage. Communication from recruiting was clear, and timelines were shared proactively. Overall, the process felt rigorous but very professional
