I was invited to apply by a recruiter in Russia. Although I wasn't interested, I'd decided to try as the company offers potential relocation to London.
At a first stage they send me a technical assignment, which is time consuming. It took me about two weekends, and partial development during weekdays.
A few days later they invited me for a technical interview, without giving any guides what to expect. It started with a coding exercise on multithreading, then series of "How to" questions regarding to UI/Tables examples from their app etc.
I didn't go further after this stage, with a dummy feedback from the recruiter.
It's disappointing that they did't provide me any feedback regarding to my task. I guess they even didn't properly reviewed it, as for many asked questions they could find answers in the code. I believe this is not respectful.
At the bottom line, my advise is to ask for the interview first, and then do a test task only if they initially liked you.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How to implement certain screen, how to layout cell etc.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Revolut
Interview
The experience was disappointing and reflected a lack of professionalism.
The interaction gave the impression of a disorganised or potentially unhealthy work culture.
Answered most of the questions accurately and to the best of my ability.
The interview was initially scheduled for a short time slot. Toward the end, the interviewer asked for my availability and indicated that they would schedule a follow-up session to continue the discussion. However, no further communication or follow-up was received.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Revolut in May 2026
Interview
During the initial HR screening call, the recruiter explicitly stated that Revolut was not hiring for a specific team and that team fit would be determined only after the coding and system design stages.
However, after passing the screening, I received the following rejection message: “After carefully reviewing your experience, we've decided to move forward with candidates whose profiles more closely align with the specific requirements of the role. Please note that this decision is based on current team needs.”
This creates a clear inconsistency in the communication. If team allocation and specific requirements were to be evaluated only in later technical rounds, a rejection citing “current team needs” right after screening appears contradictory. Such practices can lead to candidates investing time in the interview process based on incomplete or misleading information at the early stage.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut in Apr 2026
Interview
I interviewed for a Senior Software Engineer (Java) role.
The process was structured and fairly fast-paced: recruiter/screening conversation, technical discussions (coding and system design) focused on backend engineering and distributed systems, and a final manager/team-fit stage. Communication from recruiting was clear, and timelines were shared proactively. Overall, the process felt rigorous but very professional
