      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      May 10, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Berlin
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Revolut (Berlin) in Apr 2020

      Interview

      I went through 2 steps in their interview process. 1) HR call. HR person was very nice, we had a good conversation. He asked some common HR questions + bunch of theoretical technical questions for screening purposes. 2) Live coding session. The task for live coding was quite interesting, but their requirements are really confusing. Basically they want you to implement something using best OOP practices and TDD in 45 minutes (consider ~35 minutes since you have to spend time for introduction and requirements clarification). The task consist of 3 parts, but they don't tell you about that, they ask you to implement only first part and then ask you to improve it if you managed to finish the first part. For 35 minutes I've managed to implement only 1st part, using canonical TDD + spending time for proper design. Afterwards I got a feedback that I was spending a lot of time on what actually TDD is about (designing your implementation from tests, making them fail, making them green, refactoring etc.) :D. So I didn't even get what is TDD for them then. Just writing some unit tests? So from this second interview step it seemed to me that the rumors about work/life balance in Revolut are kinda true and maybe they are looking for people who can do speed coding during their 8 hours working day and if they can't finish something in time they have to work extra hours.

      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.

      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.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Revolut (Dubai) in May 2026

      Interview

      Interview begins with recruiter calling, explaining you the process - Coding round - System Design - Hiring Manager round - Bar raiser round Each rounds are qualifier to another round. I did the coding round and system design, and I was ruled out

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Coding round for the Matrix grid problem for 60 min coding round First Part of the problem - Randomly fills a matrix (a * b) with 5 'x' alphabet, reset would be 'o' alphabet Second part of the problem (minesweeper game on Windows OS) - Given a matrix fill with 'x', find number of minds adjacent to it You need to solve both problems in 40 mins to qualify (First 10 mins Introduction, last 10 minutes is follow-up question) Remember to ask follow-up questions else it mark as candidate isn't proactive in asking questions
      Answer question

      Question 2

      2. System Design Round (90 mins) They ask to design an internal developer portal that establishes a fully automated, version-control CI/CD pipeline at scale. It basically involves designing the Internal developer, I started with requirements, non-funtional requirements, entities in system, I started with API design but they said it's okay to skip, and high level design. I started with Component-Based Design where I drawn frontend, CLI, API Gateway, catalog services, ... and all other components of the developer portal But they were interested in detailed CI/CD pipeline steps. This is where I screwed up; I caught the hint much later in the interview when there were 10 mins left, and I quickly drawn CI pipeline and a CD pipeline, but wasn't able to explain each step in the CD pipeline in detail. They wanted a more comprehensive Workflow and Operational design of CI/CD pipeline instead of a component-based design of the internal developer portal. Since I didn't complete the design, I was ruled out of the interview
