      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Madrid
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (Madrid) in Jun 2023

      Interview

      I was approached by a recruiter. I had an initial interview with her, in which she asked about my background, and did some technical questions. Then I had a pair coding session to develop a Service Registry. Focused on TDD, and following up questions about concurrency and strategy pattern. My final round was a tech interview with 2 guys. It was a coding session to create a class for transferring money between accounts. Its main focus was concurrency. Then following up questions about isolation levels, indexes, optimistic locking, distributed patterns, DDD, CQRS. I have to say it was a weird moment when I said PKs are btrees by default in Postgres, and clustered indexes. One of the guys replied that I was wrong, and that PK by default are hashes. I think replying to your interviewing is a red flag over you, so I preferred not to. Looks like he did not have enough knowledge about what they were asking, and feels strange. On the next day, I received a generic rejection email. Through all the process, I feeled a bit "ignored" personally, in the sense that they do not want to know anything about you as a person. They only ask for a 1 minute presentation, literally. I had a lot of doubts about Revolut regarding their culture after reading reviews here and in other pages. This fact was just reinforcing that bad perception. Anyway, overall a good experience, with nice people and interesting questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Develop a Service Registry using TDD. It can only have 10 records, and no duplicates. Then implement a get() method with 2 strategies: random and Round Robin. Develop a method which receives 2 accounts and makes a transfer. Has to have into account concurrency. Then following debate about SQL statements to make it concurrent, isolation levels, optimistic locking, indexes in DBs, DDD, CQRS, distributed logging, monitoring.

      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
