      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      27 Apr 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

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

      Interview

      The recruitment process involves 3 steps, one basic technical interview with recruiter, one coding challenge and last one which is a mix between coding challenge and some questions (Database isolation levels, microservices, optimistic versus pessimistic concurrency control). Regarding the talk with recruiter or even the first challenge was a good enough experience. Regarding the 3 interview was far from being a good experience. An interview should be something positive, it should be in some way a discussion between engineers of best approaches to achieve an goal/solve an issue. This is not possible with current revolut's engineers, they think you are able to see what is in their mind so they do not guide you or even ask the questions in a clear way. Regarding their feedback, well there is only one word to describe it useless, I have more than 10 years working as senior software engineer and doing concurrency code mostly in java(yes I have read Java concurrency in practice several times). Concurrency, is recognized by the experts, as being one of more difficult subjects to get it right which means that you should have some time to think during implementation so we can go through all possibles flows and evaluate if any of them can be a problem(interleaving of several flows). During an interview this is not an easy task we have a mix of emotions and stress of interview context. Revolut engineers don't take that into consideration, in fact for them the issue is very clear since they are probably reusing the same problem for all interviews(they are really smart :)). I really would love to see some code from these brilliant engineers. Considering glassdoor reviews, I think in the end was probably the best thing to happen to me since I would not love to work with this kind of engineers or in a company rating so low in culture and values. Advises: You have several complains about engineers doing the 3 step perhaps your management should start thinking about it. For interviews you need good engineers but they should have strong people skills. A second approach would be to have robots doing the interview, I mean if the questions were programmed in a clear way, probably would bring a best experience for candidates. at least would be more objective. Avoid having arrogant engineers doing interviews, the candidates should feel comfortable doing the interview.

      Question 1

      Write a LoadBalancer and test it. Here you need to remember a few thinks mostly strategy pattern and also related concurrent issues.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      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.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      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.

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut in Apr 2026

      Interview

      I interviewed for a Senior Software Engineer (Java) role. The process was structured and fairly fast-paced: recruiter/screening conversation, technical discussions (coding and system design) focused on backend engineering and distributed systems, and a final manager/team-fit stage. Communication from recruiting was clear, and timelines were shared proactively. Overall, the process felt rigorous but very professional
