I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut in Dec 2024
Interview
Horrible interview. The interviewer didn't want to discuss anything or listen to what solution I was choosing and why. He only cared about the code. I decided not to write all the tests, but to discuss everything that I would test out loud, since 45 minutes is not enough to write several implementations and cover them with quality tests. In the end, I was rejected because I didn't cover the edge cases with tests. During the implementation, I optimized the solution from linear to constant complexity, but the interviewer decided in his feedback that by doing so, I simply complicated my code.
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.
