I applied online. I interviewed at Revolut (Lisbon, Lisbon District) in Mar 2023
Interview
There is a fist interview and in that one there are already some technical questions. After that is a live code and 2 sessions with tech teams to see if you fit in any of them.

Question 1
The ask about concurrency issues and how to deal with them, and also some Java core questions.
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
