I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Revolut (London, England) in May 2018
Interview
Absolutely dreadful interview process. The interviewers were quite aggressive and intimidating. They used trapping style questions, where they try to trick the candidate into answering incorrectly by asking leading questions
At home coding exercise - REST API
In person interview - coding task and software engineering fundamentals discussion
CTO discussion about future role
This company suffers from a seriously toxic atmosphere. I got the impression that everyone is competitive, stressed and overworked. The CTO was also very unpleasant and very smug.
I had absolutely no intention of accepting their offer as they seem to be an awful employer.
