I applied online. I interviewed at Revolut in Jan 2022
Interview
No leetcode-like but questions that requires knowledge in multi-threading and a good understanding of design patterns, which is a fresh of breath air. Interviewers were nice and patient. Also should have a general sense on how databases work
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can't share but as long as you have experience with multi-threading and system design, should be straight-forward.
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.
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.
