J'ai postulé en personne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Revolut (Varsovie, Mazovie) en oct. 2020
Entretien
During the first stage of the interview i was asked to develop some piece of working software live. Then iteratively add features to that. I took strategy to make things in time effective way. To not overengineer solution. I have been asking some specific questions that I was basing my design and code on. At the end I didn't pass this phase because my solution didn't match the key. according to the feedback i was rejected because of the simplifications that I made and specifically asked about them. I wouldn't mind being rejected if I didn't ask about these things specifically

HR -> Live coding -> Tech -> System design
Overall the before starting the recruitment process it's worth mastering concurrency, DB(especially PostgresSQL), and transaction management. Company seems to be working mostly with Java, Kotlin and a little with Scala
I got contacted by a recruiter. As a first step, I had a call with another recruiter. He was also asking technical questions, but it felt strange. (A bit like talking to a wall.)
I was rejected with a generic message stating that I was not "aligned with the position". This is weird as it was inbound and based on my profile. No feedback, of course.
Waste of time.
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.
