I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (London, England) in Aug 2017
Interview
The interview process consists of three steps: 1) coding test 2) phone interview 3) on site. The whole process is very domain specific (related to the role you apply for) with no algorithmic questions.
The overall process was quite good however I must rate it as negative because of the following: although I discussed salary requirements with HR before starting the process in the end they made me an offer which was significantly lower than what I currently earn.
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.
Recruiter round, they’re basically looking for buzz words. They asked for my experiences in handling different scenarios, then other db and concurrent related questions . Overall it was straightforward, just go through other’s experiences here and you should be covered

Question 1
Concurrency
Optimistic vs pessimistic locking
Db isolation levels
HR interview, coding interview, then system design interview. No specific feedback from them. I really thought I went well and answered everything at least reasonably, but didn't get an offer.
