I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Revolut in Oct 2024
Interview
Very negative experience.
The problem was quite easy to solve (building the Load Balancer and ServiceInstance). I've managed to do that quite easily and in very less time and had a test coverage of 92% on the LoadBalancer, yet still I was rejected cause they where looking for something "more specific".
I asked for some feedback but got ghosted by the recruiter.

Question 1
The classical Interview question to build a LoadBalancer and return a random ServiceInstance
Clear but challenging, with tasks and love coding that assess experience in multiple sectors. People were kind and always eager to help or explain in case I had questions or anything.

Question 1
Mostly about complexity of various implementations
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.
