      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      19 Mar 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Revolut in Mar 2021

      Interview

      The interview process had some good and some bad parts. I would say from the start that I didn't got an offer. The discussion with the recruiter was really nice and productive. She asked me a few things about myself and my experience (including some small technical question) and then she told me more about Revolut, about the way they are doing things and I kind of felt like it would be a good fit for me. After a few days, I had the live coding challenge and that went well. I was asked the implement three easy tasks, one depending on another. The only observation I would have here would be the fact that the interviewer and a strange english accent and a few time I had to ask him to repeat his question. All in all he was a nice guy, giving me a lot of information about Revolut and how they work. Then I've moved to the third and last stage, for me. Here everything was different then the previous interactions. Two guys interviewed me (although only one was tasking, the other seemed to be busy with other things). Right from the beginning I felt like he was rushing to the finish. He asked me to introduce myself and after I said a few work he interrupted me saying it's enough. That didn't felt nice. Then we have started the coding part of the interview and I was asked implemented some concurrency exercise. I have implemented almost everything the way he wanted, but at the end I couldn't implement the last requirement, but I've described correctly the solution (as he confirmed). After the coding part the real interrogation began. And I'm not exaggerating. It felt like an interrogation. He asked me a lot of questions regarding databases, concurrency and some other things without providing any feedback or giving me some details about how they are using that concept/pattern. It wasn't a pleasant discussion at all. The interview process had some good and some bad parts. I would say from the start that I didn't get an offer.

It wasn't a pleasant discussion at all. The next day the recruiter called me and gave me the feedback. It seems that I was not a good fit due to my technical knowledge. I was really surprised. They said I didn't know concurrency because I didn't implement the last part of the coding task (which had kind of three in total), even if I correctly described the solution. But the thing that really surprised me is that they said I don't know some concepts that I am 100% sure I've answered correctly. I am not upset about that, but it's not something pleasant. All interviews have a dose of subjectivity and I can live with the fact that maybe they didn't like me. The suggestions that I have would be, first of all, to increase the duration of the interview. I've felt really rushed to answer the questions. The second one is to send engineers with people skills to interviews. A "bad" interviewer makes a bad image to the company. It's not only about seeing if the peoples in front of you know all of the questions you have. It's also about making them want to join your company.

      Application

      I interviewed at Revolut (Dubai)

      Interview

      The experience was similar to what has already been described by others. I passed the first two stages but did not pass the system design interview. My first attempt was definitely on me — I was not prepared well enough. I took the feedback seriously, prepared much better for the second attempt, and expected a more balanced evaluation. However, the second system design interview felt frustrating because the interviewer repeatedly guided the discussion toward minor or less important parts of the design, which consumed a significant amount of time and prevented me from properly covering the core architecture and trade-offs. Overall, the process was useful, but the system design stage felt inconsistent and highly dependent on the interviewer’s style.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Revolut

      Interview

      The experience was disappointing and reflected a lack of professionalism. The interaction gave the impression of a disorganised or potentially unhealthy work culture. Answered most of the questions accurately and to the best of my ability. The interview was initially scheduled for a short time slot. Toward the end, the interviewer asked for my availability and indicated that they would schedule a follow-up session to continue the discussion. However, no further communication or follow-up was received.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Revolut in May 2026

      Interview

      During the initial HR screening call, the recruiter explicitly stated that Revolut was not hiring for a specific team and that team fit would be determined only after the coding and system design stages. However, after passing the screening, I received the following rejection message: “After carefully reviewing your experience, we've decided to move forward with candidates whose profiles more closely align with the specific requirements of the role. Please note that this decision is based on current team needs.” This creates a clear inconsistency in the communication. If team allocation and specific requirements were to be evaluated only in later technical rounds, a rejection citing “current team needs” right after screening appears contradictory. Such practices can lead to candidates investing time in the interview process based on incomplete or misleading information at the early stage.
