I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Revolut in Aug 2024
Interview
One HR have contacted me to begin the process of interview and explained to me how the process works. After that I have done the First Interview the screen call with the technical questions. The next day I have received an email that I will continue with the next Interview which is Live coding. Just before that call Revolut has a small call to explain the Live coding call. At this part on the arranged call I couldnt make due to a personal issue. I have informed the person about this. The next day informed me that the job position was filled and they will not continue with me. LOL in LinkedIn they are actively searching people for this position. You can not take them seriously. It is good as Interview but they lack of mentality of people oriented company. Some other point that I should mention is that they send email messages that they dont read what they send. Caution!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Concurrency, ACID principals, how spring works over Java Core, SQL/ database questions
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.
