I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Revolut in Aug 2024
Interview
One HR have contacted me to begin the process of interview and explained to me how the process works. After that I have done the First Interview the screen call with the technical questions. The next day I have received an email that I will continue with the next Interview which is Live coding. Just before that call Revolut has a small call to explain the Live coding call. At this part on the arranged call I couldnt make due to a personal issue. I have informed the person about this. The next day informed me that the job position was filled and they will not continue with me. LOL in LinkedIn they are actively searching people for this position. You can not take them seriously. It is good as Interview but they lack of mentality of people oriented company. Some other point that I should mention is that they send email messages that they dont read what they send. Caution!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Concurrency, ACID principals, how spring works over Java Core, SQL/ database questions
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.
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.

Question 1
Design Revolut Stays. Hotel info comes from an external partner. Bookings must be done through the external partner as well.
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
