I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (Porto, Oporto) in May 2024
Interview
The first stage to filter out the candidates, is an hacker rank test with 3 challenges to solve, easy, medium and difficult, with a time limit of 85 min, there is barely enough time to finish them having all the test cases pass (which hacker rank sucks because they are hidden)
Then after you pass you have a screening call with some standard behavioural questions. I was told I was advancing to the technical interview and it was explained what it was expected, after that no interview was schedule and no response to my emails. After two weeks the recruiter got back to me saying the position I applied was closed.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
The first challenge was to find anagrams within an array of strings and remove the strings which are anagrams of the previous strings.
The second challenge was for keypad given a 3x3 with the digits from 1 to 9, randomly, calculate how many steps it takes to enter a code depending on the distance between numbers.
The third challenge was to fill a matrix with each cell representing a cell color, using a bucket fill that will only paint the adjacent cells, calculate the number of fills needed to paint all the matrix.
Was canceled before even started cause they got someone internally in the company.
But the communication through email was very smooth ad fast.
I only had the opportunity to do the technical exam.

Interview
The interview felt uncomfortable and confusing due to the interviewer’s approach. I felt I was being intentionally given a false lead, and the guidance I received during the task was contradictory and counterproductive. My clarification questions were ignored, and I was told to focus on production-ready code without clear requirements. New requirements kept appearing in another tab via chat, further disrupting the workflow. Overall, the interviewer’s behavior made the process unprofessional and directly contributed to me failing the interview

Overall, the process was okay until we got to the third stage, the system design. As a preparation, I was given 2 platforms to choose from excalidraw and draw.io. During the interview there wasn't such an option, I had to use excalidraw even though I was preparing by draw.io. An interviewer spent the first 30 minutes storming with clarifying questions, sometimes absolutely not relevant, if that was not intentional it's just very strange interview skill to take half of the time from the candidate and then rush to make it in time
