      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Revolut

      Interview

      The interview process was long - it took me 6 weeks. I had 7 recruitment meetings in total, not counting the 'prep calls' with the recruiter. I think that is way too much time and resources spent on deciding whether to hire me or not, especially for a company that describes itself everywhere as being a 'fast paced environment'. The prep calls with the recruiter (Talent Acquisition Specialist) were very helpful, I felt like she really wanted me to get the job, she gave me list of all the topics that I could expect to be asked about during every stage and gave me tips on how to pass. The interview scheduling process was really nice for the first stages. I could just choose the time from the calendar with available slots. In later stages it wasn't that easy. I had to give my availability windows for the next few days and then wait up to 2 days for them to confirm which one they choose. Interviews were often postponed last minute and the interviewers were often a few minutes late for the meetings. I've passed the first four technical stages. I would say the difficulty was average. Knowing the topics beforehand, either from the recruiter or from here, made the preparation much easier. System design was probably the most difficult one, but I received a very positive feedback. Until this point everyone was really nice and interviewers spent a lot of time answering my questions. The recruiter told me that what's left is a 30 min team fit and if there would be no red flags I would be hired. Seemed easy, but wasn't so. I had 3 team fit attempts in total. The engineering managers didn't find my experience impressive. I've described projects that gave me promotion in my previous company, but they either said they seem too simple or not very technical. Some of the managers seemed rather rough and the conversations with them were not a pleasant experience. In the end I've received a feedback, which I think was mostly based on the last team fit, that while my technical skills are good enough, I was not enthusiastic enough about joining the company. This seems a bit absurd after spending so much time in the recruitment process, but on the other hand I'm not a very enthusiastic person, so perhaps they've made a good call. I think Revolut has a lot of great candidates, as the work is fully remote and the salary range is rather impressive. That's why they can reject candidates based on superficial reasons, there will be more candidates coming anyway, and it's better to avoid a mis-hire.

      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.

      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.
