I applied in-person. I interviewed at Revolut (Varsovia, Mazovia) in Oct 2020
Interview
During the first stage of the interview i was asked to develop some piece of working software live. Then iteratively add features to that. I took strategy to make things in time effective way. To not overengineer solution. I have been asking some specific questions that I was basing my design and code on. At the end I didn't pass this phase because my solution didn't match the key. according to the feedback i was rejected because of the simplifications that I made and specifically asked about them. I wouldn't mind being rejected if I didn't ask about these things specifically

Other Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Revolut
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
