I applied online. I interviewed at Revolut (Dubai) in July 2024
Interview
I applied online and got invited for the initial screening call. Had a discussion with the recruiter and moved on to the second round, which was the coding round. Unfortunately, I didn't make it past that round because I did not complete the coding exercise.

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Revolut
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.
