J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Revolut (Londres, Angleterre) en déc. 2018
Entretien
tl;dr: genuinely nice experience. Can highly recommend.
The whole process took around 1.5 weeks,. It kicks off with a brief call with a recruiter. Second step, was a home assignment - I'd say it's standard difficulty. You get 3 days to complete it, which is not ideal on a busy week if you don't hit a weekend date. It's doable in one evening tho. Last stage were two tech interviews, 1 hour each. There was a small live coding exercise, but the atmosphere during the interviews was pretty chill, more of friendly conversation than a strict interview.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Some standard python stuff, bit of data structures, some high-level technology questions.
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.
