I applied online. I interviewed at Revolut (Madrid) in Jun 2023
Interview
It is a nice process with very talented people. Core Java questions and programming. Also some questions regarding relational data bases specifically about transaction isolation levels but not getting into a lot of details
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a load balancer. Core Java, no Spring allowed. Transaction isolation levels in data bases
Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, it really is appreciated.
We hope you enjoyed the interview process.
All the very best!
I interviewed at Revolut
Interview
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.
