J'ai postulé via une autre source. J'ai passé un entretien chez Revolut en oct. 2023
Entretien
Revolut approached me, and the process of booking the "introductory" interview was easy. That's where the "good" ends. The interviewer was a few minutes late, which I can understand, and spent some time explaining the process, which is one of the longest and most intense ones I've been a part of. Besides the intro, they have a technical interview, practical exercise and then a culture fit. Yes, they do it the opposite of every other company I've interviewed with, frontloading the book smarts before you even know if this is the right environment for you. I'm glad I wasted only 30 minutes on this bureaucratic and development by the textbook company.

Question 1
Keep in mind this was booked as an "introductory interview"; their technicals are separate. Yet I was asked about several acronyms and asked to give dictionary definitions. Whenever I tried to provide more background on how I apply the concepts mentioned in practice, the interviewer rushed me cause they "had more questions to ask" and was only interested in regurgitated definitions.
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.
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

Concurrency
Optimistic vs pessimistic locking

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.
