I applied online. I interviewed at Revolut in Dec 2024
Interview
Absolutely negative experience. After going through the entire process – the screening, solving LeetCode challenges, and a technical interview (which I thought went well) – I received a generic, automated rejection. I reached out to ask for feedback but got no response. Honestly, it felt disrespectful and like a complete waste of time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A straightforward React-related task focused on implementing a built-in hook, followed by a discussion about the approach and potential improvements.
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.
Recruiter round, they’re basically looking for buzz words. They asked for my experiences in handling different scenarios, then other db and concurrent related questions . Overall it was straightforward, just go through other’s experiences here and you should be covered

HR interview, coding interview, then system design interview. No specific feedback from them. I really thought I went well and answered everything at least reasonably, but didn't get an offer.
