I applied online. I interviewed at Revolut (Lisbon, Lisbon District) in Mar 2023
Interview
There is a fist interview and in that one there are already some technical questions. After that is a live code and 2 sessions with tech teams to see if you fit in any of them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The ask about concurrency issues and how to deal with them, and also some Java core questions.
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.
