J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Revolut (Londres, Angleterre) en mai 2018
Entretien
Absolutely dreadful interview process. The interviewers were quite aggressive and intimidating. They used trapping style questions, where they try to trick the candidate into answering incorrectly by asking leading questions
At home coding exercise - REST API
In person interview - coding task and software engineering fundamentals discussion
CTO discussion about future role
This company suffers from a seriously toxic atmosphere. I got the impression that everyone is competitive, stressed and overworked. The CTO was also very unpleasant and very smug.
I had absolutely no intention of accepting their offer as they seem to be an awful employer.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Concurrency fundamentals, Database Fundamentals and Clean Code strategies
HR -> Live coding -> Tech -> System design
Overall the before starting the recruitment process it's worth mastering concurrency, DB(especially PostgresSQL), and transaction management. Company seems to be working mostly with Java, Kotlin and a little with Scala
I got contacted by a recruiter. As a first step, I had a call with another recruiter. He was also asking technical questions, but it felt strange. (A bit like talking to a wall.)
I was rejected with a generic message stating that I was not "aligned with the position". This is weird as it was inbound and based on my profile. No feedback, of course.
Waste of time.
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.
