I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (Warsaw, Masovia) in Nov 2022
Interview
A few stages. Starts with live coding interview, then tech conversation and system design. All focused on solving some problem with given requirements.
Before every stage a recruiter sends details on how to prepare to each step. It is crucial to familiarise with them and prepare well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A development task with many steps that and more and more requirements
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.
