I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Revature (Winchester, VA) in Dec 2018
Interview
I made an account on Revature to teach myself coding and I got a call from a recruiter the day after. First was the phone screening where they asked me about any of my experience with coding, of which I have little besides starting a project on their site. She also asked for my school background (a bachelor's in psych) and whether I was okay with relocating anywhere in the US. She then said she'd send me an aptitude test and a job description through email. I didn't receive them, so I called back, and I was sent the aptitude test only. It was a series of 35 riddle/logic questions with an hour timer. I had seen maybe half of those types of questions before and knew how to answer roughly half, but the others took a great bit of time for me to figure out on paper. I was called that night by my recruiter and told I did very well and asked me for any times I was free to do a video call through HireVue. I had the video interview with a woman that had a very thick accent...She was cordial and professional. However, I gave a lot of stupid answers because I had to ask her multiple times to repeat herself and I could only really parse out what she was asking for a few of the questions. I will say, however, that the website is very well designed and easy to use, and I will continue to use it to teach myself how to code.
You have a chicken, a bag of corn, and a fox on one side of a river. You need to transport them one at a time across the river on a small boat. You are given these rules: The chicken cannot be alone with the bag of corn because it will eat the corn. Likewise, the fox will eat the chicken if alone with it. How would you transport all three of them to the other side of the river safely?
I applied online. I interviewed at Revature in Nov 2025
Interview
Completed unpaid training program successfully and was placed on a waitlist for payed training. The unpaid program focused on full stack Java development and lasted for around 3 months. The final exam was based on the topics and assesments covered in the program.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you willing to relocate to any city within the US?
First an aptitude test which was majorly mcqs, quite easy for people with a computer science background but they also allow candidates with non cs to join so it might be the reason. Then you can take part with their unpaid training which they teach in depth over basics upto creating API for backend using Spring and Java then you get enrolled for their paid program waitlist where they contact you if they have a client that fits with you.
It was good. Interviewer asked me questions based on oops, threads, exception handling, SQL . I was interviewed for 25 minutes and all the questions are answerable and at a level of basic to intermediate.
She also asked me a query approach in SQL and also execute a code.
