      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Apr 27, 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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

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

      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.

      Positive experience
      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
