I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (Barcelona) in Aug 2022
Interview
Just some standard Coding Challenges mostly focusing on speed and slightly on correctness too. If you work for a while to prepare your coding speed then you will find it easy mostly. However, they do ask you regarding Multithreading so you gotta have those concepts very clear beforehand.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
ACID properties, CAP theorem, Multithreading concepts, Sharding/Partitioning, DB indexes (pros and cons)
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Revolut in May 2022
Interview
Applied to an offer in LinkedIn. Contacted by them, and scheduled the first interview. The first interview was just a 10 minutes talk with one interviewer. 5 minutes where she told me about Revolut and how they work, 3 minutes talking about my experience, and the rest for 2 plain questions about if I knew the complecity of a hashmap, and the meaning of transactionality. The questions were plainly read by her and there was no discussion at all, quite cold and. Rejected after it because of another more fitting candidate.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Revolut in Nov 2022
Interview
The first part of the interview was a quick screening with a recruiter asking some simple technical questions. The second part was a live coding exercise with a software engineer where I was required to write a LoadBalancer. I did write the balancer (very well in my opinion) however I had a flaw in my code which was not thread safe. I found the flaw and fixed it, however the interviewer seemed quite disappointed that I made the mistake in the first place. I can't really tell as he was very quiet during the whole interview and gave 0 feedback and even seemed annoyed when I asked him a question. I received a rejection afterwards, again with no feedback. So my advice is to focus a lot on multithreading as it seems that a simple mistake there is a dealbreaker.
